The Nagpur district in Maharashtra reported its first case of Covid-19 new variant Omicron, informed Municipal Commissioner Radhakrishnan B.

The 40-year-old patient, who tested positive for omicron, has a history of travelling to West Africa. "After returning to Nagpur, the man underwent genome sequencing along with the Covid-19 test. Only then did it become clear that he had an omicron infection. He is stable and is undergoing treatment at the hospital. Other members of the patient's family have been reported negative. Other people who came in contact with the patient concerned are being traced and all of them will be tested by the administration. Samples were taken from the person concerned at Nagpur airport on December 4," said Radhakrishnan B.
