The fight against coronavirus is a long and tedious one. Amidst the suffering and deaths, the little victories lead us a step ahead towards conquering this disease. Goa became the first state in India to be declared coronavirus free. And a day after Goa announced their triumph over COVID-19 another state joined the bandwagon. The Chief Minister of Manipur, N Biren Singh announced on Twitter that both the patients in the states who earlier tested positive for coronavirus have recovered from the infection, and tested negative.
What’s In It?
The first patient to test positive for coronavirus in Manipur was that of a 23-year-old woman who just returned from the UK. The second patient in the state was a 65-year-old patient who was infected after his return from the Tablighi Jamaat event in Delhi’s Nizamuddin. The Chief Minister of Manipur, Biren Singh tweeted that he is glad to share that the state is now corona free.
