A majority of COVID-19 infected patients from Kandakadu and Senapura Rehabilitation Centers have regained their health, the National Operation Centre for Prevention of COVID-19 Outbreak (NOCPCO) said.

Reportedly, from the 629 infected individuals identified from the two rehabilitation centers, 567 have completely recovered from the virus.

Accordingly, only 62 more patients remain under medical care, according to NOCPCO.
