The Covid-19 survivors are the real warriors as they develop crucial antibodies required to fight the disease, and so they need our sympathy and support, a Karnataka official said in a statement on Thursday.

"Sympathy and support to Covid positive persons from all walks of life. They are the real warriors against coronavirus. We must support them morally. They not only develop antibodies and can be potential donors for plasma therapy," said Health Commissioner Pankaj Kumar Pandey.
