One of the patients who recovered is a 47-year-old female who was the primary contact (and wife) of the first-ever case in Karnataka - the 46-year-old male Dell employee who had returned from the United States.

The second recovery was of the fifth patient to be infected with COVID-19 in the state. He is from Mumbai and was working in Bangalore with Google. He went on honeymoon to Greece on 23 February, returned to Mumbai on 6 March and subsequently came to Bangalore on 8 March.
