Former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh was discharged from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) on Thursday after he fully recovered from COVID-19.

Dr. Singh, 88, was admitted to the AIIMS trauma centre on April 19 after testing positive for COVID-19.

The former Prime Minister, however, had taken both his doses of vaccine before he got infected with the virus.

“The nation is happy and relieved that Dr. Manmohan Singh has recovered and been discharged from hospital. Nation wishes him a healthy and long life,” former Finance Minister P. Chidamabaram tweeted.

The former Finance Minister also wished full and speedy recovery to Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot who has tested positive.

Another senior Congress leader, Anand Sharma, also tweeted that he had returned home after recovery.
