All three people in Kerala who tested positive for the novel coronavirus (the only cases reported from India so far) have now fully recovered, according to the Kerala health department.

The three infected people had returned to India last month from China's Wuhan, the epicentre of the coronavirus outbreak. They were quarantined and had been undergoing treatment for over a couple of weeks. The Kerala government had declared a state specific disaster but had withdrawn the same after no further cases were reported.

Kerala's finance minister Thomas Isaac mentioned in a tweet about the health department, "Just as in the case of Nipah, Kerala has won battle with Corona Virus. All the 3 patients identified have been confirmed by Central authorities to have fully recovered. No case of secondary spread. Number under quarantine observation drastically coming down.Congats Health Dept."
