Srinagar: The first two COVID-19 positive children were discharged on Monday from JLNM Hospital Rainawari here.
The sisters–7-year-old and three and a half year-old– were discharged along with their mother who was COVID-19 negative but was staying with her daughters. “The repeat samples of both the children and of the mother came NEGATIVE for COVID-19 today,” officials said.
Principal Secretary Information and government spokesman termed it as a “Great News”. “Mubarak to the families and gratitude to the entire medical team,” he tweeted. The children from Natipora had come in contact with their grandfather who had arrived from Saudi Arabia after performing Umrah and tested positive for Covid-19.
The man had shared the same flight as that of the Kashmir’s first Covid-19 patient – a 67-year-old woman from Srinagar’s Khanyar area – who was discharged from SKIMS Soura.
