    Later the number of patients increased to 69 and all of them were discharged in four days with the help of Indian traditional medicines treatment.

    Radhakrishnan, IAS, working as a nodal officer for the Chennai Corporation, said: "We have already got a research-based license for Indian traditional medicine of Neelavambu Kudineer. So far as COVID-19 is concerned, our first priority is prevention and aggressive testing."

    "We are also popularising the Indian traditional medicines to improve the immune system of the people," he added.
