Imphal, April 09 2020:
Discharging of the State's first COVID-19 patient has been deferred by a few days at the request of the patient.
The patient, a young woman from Thangmeiband, has now recovered and her samples tested negative in the last three successive tests.
Members of the JNIMS COVID-19 management core committee talked with family members of the woman today.
As the patient expressed desire to stay at the hospital for a few more days, her discharge would be deferred, informed a source.
As such, she is likely to be discharged next week.
On the other hand, four samples sent from Nagaland were tested at JNIMS today and all of them turned out to be negative, added the source.
