A businessman who was the first person to test positive for the novel coronavirus in Delhi and quarantined 14 days, said on Monday that people having symptoms of the deadly disease should not be scared and visit doctors immediately.
The 45-year-old man (name withheld), in an interaction with PTI over phone from his home in Mayur Vihar area of east Delhi, said, he had become "more religious" after his treatment, following which he was discharged last Saturday.
"I was living in a separate room, and it had an AC and all the good facilities, and windows to allow sunshine," he said. "It wasn't like a 'kaal kothari' (dark chamber) as stereotyped in many movies."
