KOLKATA: Seven Vietnamese sailors, all Covid-19 positive, are currently undergoing treatment at the state-run Infectious Diseases & Beliaghata General (ID&BG) Hospital. While five are confirmed Omicron-positive cases, genome sequencing report of two others are awaited. Health department officials said all of them have been brought from a cruise ship docked at the Diamond Harbour port.
“Few days ago we had discharged two more sailors from the same ship. Those two Vietnamese nationals were also positive for Omicron. The discharge was done according to protocol as the two tested negative to the infection during the course of treatment,” said ID&BG principal Anima Haldar.
