In Gujarat's Jamnagar, a South African returnee tests positive for Omicron

On Saturday, a South African returnee in Gujarat's Jamnagar tested positive for the Omicron variety. Yesterday, a 72-year-old man from Jamnagar tested positive for Covid-19 after returning from Zimbabwe. The man is currently being treated in the state-run GG Hospital, according to sources.

Last week, three people of Indian ancestry returned to Jamnagar from Zimbabwe, according to Jamnagar municipal commissioner Vijay Kharadi. The results of the other two people's tests are still waiting. To confirm the variation, samples for genomic sequencing were provided. After two of their family members returned from a wedding function in Junagadh in a state transport van, eight members of a Jamnagar family tested positive for Covid.
