Twelve suspected cases of Omicron have been admitted to hospitals in Delhi after they arrived on international flights over the past three days. Their samples have been sent for genome testing to confirm whether they are infected with the Omicron strain.
All are at the Lok Nayak Jai Prakash (LNJP) hospital in Delhi. Eight were hospitalised yesterday after they tested positive for Covid. Four more were admitted today but their Covid tests are not out yet.
"Four are from the UK, four from France, some from Tanzania, one from Belgium. All are stable, only one has a fever," said Suresh Kumar, Medical Director, LNJP Hospital.
He said samples have been sent for genome testing and whether any of them is Omicron-infected will be known in five or six days. "Genome sequencing is a lengthy and complicated procedure," Dr Kumar told NDTV.
