A resident of Lohian Khas under Shahkot sub-division in Jalandhar district, Kaur tested positive and was admitted to hospital two days after her father died from heart attack on April 2, a day after he was diagnosed with Covid-19 after returning from a trip abroad.

Kaur was treated by a team of doctors led by senior medical officer Dr Kashmiri Lal.

She was discharged after two of her samples that were tested at the Government Medical College, Amritsar, on April 17 and 19, came out negative.

Thanking the hospital staff, Kaur said they cared well for her, especially Dr Lal, who she said treated her like a daughter.
