Discharged from hospital on Tuesday after being treated for coronavirus, Dr Tauseef Khan is raring to get back into the fight against COVID-19.

"I am the best person to work with coronavirus positive patients and make them understand things, because I have myself gone through it," the resident doctor at King George's Medical University told PTI.

When asked if he would like to work at KGMU's isolation ward again, he said, "I will spend the 14-day isolation period at home and will be ready for duty once again.

Dr Khan got the infection while treating a doctor from Canada at the hospital.

When asked if he was okay with being named in the media, he said, "Why not?
I have defeated coronavirus and am coming out of the hospital, not from jail."
