Anna Hazare, who has been admitted to a private hospital here after suffering from a viral infection, is recovering and he should not fast at least for the next one month, doctors attending on him said on Sunday.

Seventy-four-year-old Hazare was admitted to the hospital on Sunday night and is being monitored by a team of doctors. After examining his health, the doctors said they have advised Hazare not to fast at least for the next one month till there is some improvement in his condition.

"For another one month he should not fast. If the condition deteriorates then it would be difficult. In five days, we will stop giving antibiotics to him and we expect some improvement after that," a doctor attending on him said.

The doctor also said Hazare needs "complete rest" now and that his aides have been asked not to disturb him. "His situation worsened after his 2-day fast in Mumbai.

Now, he is in a better state," he said.
