A 23-year-old woman from Imphal West district, the first coronavirus-affected person in Manipur, was discharged from the J.N. Institute of Medical Sciences.
Studying in London, she had reached home on March 21. However, she felt uneasy and went to the medical institution on March 23 for a check-up. The next day she was found to be COVID-19 positive.
The second test found her to be still positive. T. Bhimo, Director of the institute, said there were encouraging developments such as appetite and general improvement in her physical condition.
He said, “In all subsequent tests she was found to be negative.”
