The city's first COVID-19 patient, who recovered from the disease and was discharged on Sunday, has hoped that everything is in order to fight the coronavirus in the country.

"If you are in a positive frame of mind, then you can get through the bad times. I had received immense support from the hospital staff -- whenever they came, they asked how I was doing and were very sweet to me," the COVID-19 survivor told .

He added: "I am thankful to the government for providing good facilities. I did not expect the facilities of such kind."

Health Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma later felicitated the survivor.

Speaking about the COVID-19 situation in the State, Sarma said: "We have 34 COVID-19 patients and unfortunately one patient died while taking treatment. The total discharged patients, as of today, is 17. We have only 16 active cases."
