A total number 324 persons — at least 311 of whom are members of the Tableeghi Jamaat — have been discharged from hospitals in Hyderabad after recovering from the coronavirus.

Some of the recovered patients have departed for their homes while others are in the process of leaving.

“We will be arranging transport for the patients by Wednesday morning at the latest. We are making efforts to disinfect their luggage before sending them off," said the Hyderabad deputy commissioner.
