Puducherry's first coronavirus patient, a 68-year old woman in Mahe has tested negative, official sources said on Saturday.
The patient had recovered and the follow-up test of blood samples returned negative, said an official source in Mahe, an enclave of the union territory of Puducherry in Kerala.
Her daughter-in-law, who was quarantined in the government hospital as a precautionary measure, also tested negative for coronavirus, the source added.
Director of Health and Family Welfare Mohan Kumar told PTI that both the women would be discharged in a day or two.
The 68-year old woman had returned to Mahe earlier this month from Saudi Arabia after participating in a religious festival there.
She was treated at a government hospital in Mahe after she showed symptoms of the COVID 19 and tested positive.
