Pradhan, who had contracted the virus in July, also urged people who have recovered from COVID-19 to come forward and donate their plasma to save lives.
Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik had inaugurated the state's first plasma bank at SCB Hospital on July 15.
Plasma collected from those who have successfully recovered from COVID-19 contains antibodies developed against the virus and could possibly help others fight the infection.
