The Chinese coronavirus (COVID-19) patient who was diagnosed in Sri Lanka has been discharged from the Infectious Disease Hospital a short while ago.
The first confirmed case of novel coronavirus was reported in Sri Lanka on the 27th of January as a female Chinese national was diagnosed with the deadly virus, which has now rapidly spread across many countries just within days.
This Chinese woman from Hubei Province in China was admitted to the IDH in critical condition.
The woman had arrived as a tourist with another group of travelers and had been screened at the Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) for having a high fever.
However, the patient who was the only person to test positive for 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) in Sri Lanka thus far, has recovered completely, the Health Ministry has said.
