"Some good development while #AndamanFightsCOVID19 All ten earlier positive cases are now negative after treatment. They will be shifted from hospital to institutional quarantine for 2 weeks," Sanghi tweeted.

"Many think #AndamanFightsCOVID19 is near over with 10 +ve cases turning -ve. Many examples where negatives have again come positive. So no let up," he tweeted.
