Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has been discharged from hospital after recovering from Covid-19.
Singh (88) was admitted to Delhi’s All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) with mild fever on April 19, after he tested positive for Covid-19.
He had taken the two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine on March 4 and April 3.
Before his hospitalisation, Dr Singh wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to offer some advice on handling a pandemic that has gained in intensity and scope. The number of dead has crossed the two-lakh mark.
The nation currently is in a calamitous grip of the virulent second wave of coronavirus that has seen record surges and health facilities swamped.
Leaders cutting across party lines had wished the former Prime Minister a speedy recovery.
