Among the most high-profile cases in India’s devastating second wave of coronavirus infections is the former prime minister Manmohan Singh, who was admitted to hospital this week after testing positive despite being recently vaccinated against Covid-19.
Singh, 88, who developed a fever on Sunday and tested positive a day later, is an economist, academic and member of the Congress party who led the country for a decade between 2004 and 2014 and was the first Sikh to hold the office.
