Bhubaneswar: Dr Siddhant Kar, the managing director of Kar Clinic at Unit IV, Bhubaneswar, has tested negative for the novel coronavirus.
The results of all samples received on Monday were negative, a tweet by I & PR Department said.
The third COVID-19 patient in Odisha had gone to Kar Clinic for a health check-up after returning from New Delhi. The 60-year-old banker, who tested positive for the killer virus on March 26, was also admitted to the ICU of the nursing home with pneumonia-like symptoms for a day on March 24.
The state government had then exhorted people not to visit Kar Clinic in view of the contact history of the latest patient. However, it was later sanitised and allowed to provide emergency continuum care such as dialysis from Sunday.
“However, the care providers who had come in contact with the 3rd COVID-19 positive case need to be on isolation and SoP issued by DHS be followed,” the Health and Family Welfare Department had tweeted.
