A doctor in Bengaluru, who was infected with the Omicron variant of coronavirus, has tested positive for the virus again after two weeks, officials said on Tuesday. The 46-year-old is asymptomatic and under isolation. He will now remain under observation for another seven days and discharged only after receiving a negative RT-PCR test report. Here are more details on this.
Context Why does this story matter?
The doctor was among the first known patients of Omicron in India. Curiously, he did not have a history of foreign travel. He, however, had attended a medical conference in which dozens of people participated. Omicron is said to be the most heavily mutated strain of the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. Early data suggests it spreads fast but the illness it causes may be mild.
Details Doctor say he is 'perfectly alright now'
