Gogoi has been admitted in the GMCH thrice since August.
The octogenarian Congress leader had tested positive for COVID-19 on August 25 and was admitted in the GMCH, where he underwent treatment for over 20 days before recovering from the infection.
His existing co-morbidities and advanced age had made recovery slow.
He was once again admitted in the same hospital on September 24 following drop in his oxygen level, and was discharged in the last week of October.
He was readmitted on November 1.
