The veteran Congress leader was admitted to AIIMS after he tested positive for coronavirus on April 19.
Before testing COVID-19 positive, a day earlier the former PM had written to PM Modi over the grim COVID-19 situation in the country and recommended ways to tackle the current crisis.
In his letter, Singh had stressed ramping up COVID-19 vaccination efforts and suggested that the focus must be put on the percentage of the total population vaccinated instead of absolute numbers.
“The key to our fight against COVID-19 must be ramping up the vaccination effort. We must resist the temptation to look at the absolute numbers being vaccinated, and focus instead on the percentage of the population vaccinated," the letter read.
