The control room, in its statement, asked people not to stigmatise or discriminate against people who have recovered from the disease.
"The probability of a discharged person becoming positive again is very low and such viruses are non-viable... hence people discharged from hospitals should not be stigmatized," the statement added.
Manipur currently has 279 active cases. Sixty-three people have recovered so far. CORR RMS RMS(This story has not been edited by www.businessinsider.in and is auto–generated from a syndicated feed we subscribe to.)
