How are you, did you eat anything?" Kavita More asked daughter Monica, a little after 4 pm on Saturday, when the two spoke on a video conference call arranged by the treating doctor. Monica, who is recuperating in the seventh floor, transplant ICU, of Gleneagles Global Hospital, is now off ventilator support, and the treating doctors said all her parameters are normal.

Vishwas Jadhav, her uncle, said, "We will not be allowed to meet her for the next few weeks, and even once home, utmost care will need to be taken to protect her from infection."
