Goa had a total of seven patients who tested positive for coronavirus but the figure steadily kept reducing as no fresh positives were registered after April 3 while those who were tested positive began to recover.

“We are proud to announce that all the recovered patients reported positive in the state of Goa have recovered from Covid-19. The active number of cases in Goa now stands at zero. While currently we do not have any active cases in the state, it is our responsibility to keep in mind the importance of the lockdown, maintain social distancing, increase the scope of testing and adhere to norms and guidelines issued by both central and state government,” Rane said.

Patients who recover are moved to a separate hotel where they are kept in isolation for another 14 days before they are sent home in order that they do not attract a secondary infection upon discharge from hospital as well as an additional precautionary measure.

Good to hear.

Goa has the best chance in the whole of India as it is one of the richest states and has an educated population and good economic and healthcare infrastructure.

It will probably suffer the most economically during the coronavirus pandemic as it relies so much on tourism but will get the necessary financial assistance from the central government in Delhi.

Great. One by one, despite having so many foreigners visiting they managed to deal with it successfully.
