He recovered on April 15. However, during this time period his wife and son also tested positive for the coronavirus.
Sharma said that the idea of plasma donation came from his wife, who was advised about it by a medical doctor.
Sharma said that his marriage anniversary is on April 25. And, on that day he agreed to donate plasma.
Anuj said, "Within 45 minutes plasma donation was done. If someone's life can be saved by plasma donation, then we must do it."
"I think that everybody should help in this initiative. If we are successful, we will win strongly over coronavirus and will do a great job for the society," he added.
