15 BMP personnel show signs of recovery

PATNA: The Patna district administration and health department officials are hopeful that at least 15 of the 48 Bihar Military Police (BMP) personnel, who were tested positive for coronavirus, would be discharged within a day or two as they have shown signs of recovery.
Patna civil surgeon Dr Raj Kishore Chaudhary said the 15 BMP personnel have been under treatment since the last 10 days.“Their fresh samples were collected for test on Friday night. If tested negative, they will be discharged,” Dr Chaudhary said, adding the discharged BMP personnel would have to remain in quarantine for specified time period.
He said these 15 BMP personnel are undergoing treatment along with their 20 more colleagues at BAMETI, Phulwarisharif. “One BMP jawan is undergoing treatment at AIIMS-Patna and the rest at Covid care centre at Hotel Patliputra Ashok,” he added.
Dr Chaudhary said all the BMP personnel were asymptomatic from the very beginning. “A Covid-19 positive patient is discharged if s/he is tested negative after ten days of treatment,” he said.
Once these BMP personnel are discharged, it would be a huge sigh of relief for the state police headquarters.
