Dilip Kumar’s two brothers have tested positive for Covid-19.

Eshan and Aslam Khan started complaining of breathlessness when they were rushed to Lilavati hospital on Saturday night. Later, they tested positive for Covid-19 after rapid antigen test and were immediately admitted at the Covid-19 ward of the hospital.

As per sources in the hospital, their oxygen saturation has fallen below 80% and considering both of them are elderly, they have been kept under artificial breathing support system called CPAP (Continuous positive airway pressure). It is a form of an airway pressure ventilation which supports in breathing.

“They have been kept in ICU but we haven’t intubated them as yet. Considering their age and pre-condition health issues like diabetes and hypertension, we have to be extra careful while treating them,” said a doctor from the hospital. They are kept under the observation of Dr Jalil Parker who refused to make any statement citing patient confidentiality.
