CORONAVIRUS UPDATES

Lockdown, Day 47: Homecoming

Sixty-four flights. Two naval ships. A dozen countries. And 15,000 stranded Indians. Yesterday, the subcontinent began one of the biggest evacuation exercises in the world - the Vande Bharat Mission.

In another major move, the health ministry relaxed the norms for the discharge of COVID-19 positive patients. Now, people who show mild or moderate symptoms can be discharged from hospitals without the need for a test to confirm if they are COVID-19 negative or not; this move is expected to cut down on the use of test kits.
