Earlier on April 19, the state was declared Covid-free after the second patient tested negative.
Manipur’s first COVID-19 case was also the first positive case in the region, a 23-year-old girl who had tested positive in March upon her return from the United Kingdom. She was discharged from the hospital on April 12.
