Several cases of Omicron have been detected around India. A few days ago, the health ministry stressed on the importance of taking precautionary measures to mitigate the spread. As per the latest report in NDTV, a one-and-a-half-year-old girl, who had tested positive for the Omicron variant of coronavirus in the Pune district of Maharashtra, recovered and was discharged from the hospital. The health officials also reportedly informed that a three-year-old boy who was also found infected with Omicron, is asymptomatic and doing fine.
The three-year-old boy is admitted with three other new patients in the Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation area. Reportedly, the new patients are all contacts of the Indian-origin woman and her two daughters from Nigeria, who were diagnosed with the Omicron variant.
"Out of the six Omicron patients found earlier, four patients, including the one-and-a-half-year-old have been discharged from the hospital after they tested negative during their repeat test," the leading daily quoted an official.
