As per the latest update, both Amitabh Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan will undergo a swab test on Sunday at the hospital. The earlier test, a rapid anti-gen test, was done by a private lab.
As reports came in that the father-son duo were both asymptomatic, Abhishek himself tweeted that both of them had mild symptoms and urged all not to panic. He too has been admitted to the hospital and added that they were complying with the BMC authorities.
