My every move was under the close supervision of the doctor. Despite the fear of getting coronavirus, Mamta kept herself strong and did not lose hope of going back home all fine. She was told 14 days of isolation but was discharged in just two days. Mamta said that nurses used to give medicines from time to time while in isolation.
