India’s first novel coronavirus patient, a female medical student who was treated at the Government Medical College Hospital in Thrissur in Kerala, was discharged on Thursday.
Officials informed that the decision to discharge the patient was taken by the medical board that met and examined the patient’s samples, which tested negative for a second time.
“She will now have to undergo home quarantine for 14 days,” sources added.
With her, now all three coronavirus-infected persons have been discharged from the hospital.
The other two patients also belonged from Kerala.
The medical student had returned from China last month and since then she was undergoing treatment in an isolation ward of the hospital in Thrissur.
All three patients from Kerala had earlier tested positive for the coronavirus. They all returned from Wuhan- the epicentre of the outbreak.
So far around 2000 persons have been killed in China due to the outbreak.
