Bhopal:
Two senior IAS officers in Madhya Pradesh who had tested positive for coronavirus were discharged from hospital on Saturday following recovery.
The two officials, one of them a woman, were working with the state health department itself.
As many as 89 health department officials including a few doctors have tested positive for COVID-19 in the state, putting a big question mark on its preparedness to fight the pandemic.
The woman IAS officer tested positive on April 4, while her male colleague had been found to have contracted virus earlier.
“As their second reports were found to be negative, they were discharged,” said a health department official.
Both will have to stay at home for 14 days before resuming their normal routines, he added.
Two more Indian Administrative Service officials have tested positive for coronavirus in Madhya Pradesh.
