Thanks all warriors!
It was earlier reported that Goa became the first zero COVID-19 state in the country after the last of the seven active cases tested negative.
Goa reported a total of seven positive cases, of whom six had travel history and one was the brother of a positive patient.
The last of the seven cases in the coastal state was detected on 3 April, and since then all have been discharged after their samples tested negative post-treatment.
