Former prime minister Manmohan Singh was on Thursday discharged from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences here.

He was admitted to the facility after testing positive for COVID-19.

Sources close to the Congress leader said he was doing fine.

Singh was admitted to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) on April 19 after he had fever and tested positive for the novel coronavirus infection.

Singh has received his two vaccine doses of Covaxin - the first on March 4 and the second on April 3. He was moved to the hospital as "a matter of precaution".

Before his hospitalisation, Dr Singh wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to offer some advice on handling a pandemic that has gained in intensity and scope. The number of dead has crossed the two-lakh mark.

Leaders cutting across party lines had wished the former Prime Minister a speedy recovery.
