Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant, who is currently in home isolation after testing positive for COVID-19 earlier this month, said pranayam, exercise, and diet have helped him recover from the fatal viral infection.

‘Performing regular pranayam, drinking sufficient fluids, and maintaining a good diet could help a person recover from COVID-19.’

"I felt mild symptoms on September 1 on account of which I took a test and was found positive the very next day. But other than fever and body ache for one day, I had no other symptoms," the Chief Minister stated. 




"Several people have opted for home isolation, and I also did the same. From my own experience, I can say that if one maintains a proper diet, regular exercise and pranayama will help the person recover from the disease," Sawant added.
The Chief Minister, who is also a qualified doctor of alternative medicine, suggested that patients who need post COVID care should "perform regular pranayam, drink sufficient liquids, and maintain a good diet."
