BOMDILA/KHONSA, Jul 3: Two Covid-19 patients – one each in West Kameng and Tirap districts – have been cured and discharged from Covid care centres (CCC).
The patient discharged in West Kameng on Friday was the district’s first Covid-19 patient. He was a returnee from Guwahati, and had been admitted to the CCC on 20 June.
West Kameng DC Karma Leki heaped praise on the doctors, nurses and other frontline health workers for successfully treating the patient.
DMO Dr Dondu Wange expressed faith that the health workers and the health department are well-prepared to handle any further positive cases.
