Now four South African travelers infected with Omicron found in Rajasthan


Jaipur : As many as four South African passengers have tested Covid positive in Rajasthan. The samples of the patients have been sent for further tests. Family of 4 quarantined in Jaipur. The members of the family have been isolated in Jaipur.

Another passenger from the UK in Chennai was found COVID positive and is admitted to a special ward of the King Institute of Preventive Medicine, Chennai. His samples have been sent for genome sequencing to Chennai and Bengaluru, says Tamil Nadu Health Minister Ma Subramanian on Friday.

India on Thursday reported its first two cases of the Omicron variant of COVID-19 from Karnataka–in a South African national and a Bengaluru doctor with no travel history and both men fully vaccinated–even as the Centre faced questions from opposition parties on a timeline for a booster vaccine.
