Stirring the expectations over her political resurgence, VK Sasikala is going to get discharged from Victoria Hospital in Bengaluru on Sunday, nearly ten days of being hospitalized for the COVID-19 viral infection. The hospital has advised Sasikala to remain under quarantine after her discharge. 

According to reports, Sasikala would be arriving in Chennai most likely on February 3rd or 5th. It has been reported that Sasikala would undergo the COVID-19 testing before getting discharged. The closest aide of late Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa has been getting treated for the COVID-19 viral infection and breathing difficulty for the past ten days and she has been recovering towards discharge. 

It's now been confirmed that Sasikala would be discharging from Victoria hospital on Sunday and she would be arriving in Chennai on February 3rd or 5th. The development has brought huge relief to her supporters and family members who are preparing to give a grand welcome to her as she arrives in Chennai after completing her prison sentence. 

On Wednesday, VK Sasikala was released from the Parappana Agrahara after completing her four-year prison sentence. She was serving the prison sentence in Bangalore after she was convicted in the Disproportionate Assets case in which Jayalalithaa was the first accused. While she was nearing her release on January 27, she had developed breathing difficulties and discomforts in the prison on January 20 following which she was brought to Bowring Hospital in Bangalore at a state of low oxygen saturation level. 

The sudden setback on her health had shocked her family members and supporters and she was immediately given oxygen support and placed under the intensive care unit. She was also diagnosed with Severe Acute Respiratory Infection (SARI) and developed positive symptoms of COVID-19 following which two COVID-19 tests were taken in Bowring and those two results were returned negative. 

However, her health condition warranted a CT scan and due to the non-functioning of scanning equipment, Sasikala was discharged from Bowring and shifted to Victoria Hospital in Bangalore on January 21. Sasikala would now be discharged on Sunday from the hospital nearly ten days of hospitalization.
