DAK President who is also an Associate Professor of Medicine at GMC Srinagar had tested positive for the virus on August 12 after showing symptoms of the disease.
“Today I tested negative for the virus. It is a big relief,” said DAK President Dr Nisar ul Hassan in a communiqué.
“2 weeks back while I was attending Covid-19 patients at SMHS hospital, I developed unusual symptoms – crazy fatigue, body aches and terrible headache. My test result came positive and I immediately quarantined myself. Next day I was hit by nasal congestion, sore throat and joint pains. On third day I had profuse sweating, chills and increase in heart rate. I was completely exhausted with no energy and was feeling sleepy all the time. The symptoms lasted for 9 days,” he said, in a statement.
“On day 10, I had sense of well being when my appetite came and I regained my sense of smell and taste which had gone,” Dr Nisar said.
“But, all along my blood oxygen levels remained in the normal range,” he added.
