Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain was discharged from the hospital on Friday, 26 June, after testing negative for COVID-19, sources cited by PTI said.

He had tested positive for COVID-19 on 17 June and was admitted to Saket's Max Hospital two days later after his condition deteriorated.

Jain had been put on oxygen support after his lung infection increased and was diagnosed with pneumonia.

The 55-year-old Aam Aadmi Party leader's condition improved later, and he was shifted to the general ward, with his oxygen support also being removed.
