An 85-year-old Malappuram resident, who was under observation at Manjeri Medical College after being cured of Covid-19, died on Saturday.
The person’s sample had returned negative three days ago. The sample would be re-tested in the wake of his death.
The deceased had been under treatment for kidney-related illnesses even before he contracted the disease from his son, a 52-year-old Madrassa teacher who had returned after performing Umrah pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia.
This was fourth Covid death reported from Kerala.
