Jaipur/Pune/Delhi: India’s tally of confirmed Covid cases linked to the newly discovered Omicron variant shot up five times overnight as nine people in Rajasthan, including a four-member NRI family from South Africa, seven in Pune and one in Delhi tested positive for that strain of the virus on Sunday. The total count currently stands at 21, a day after Maharashtra and Gujarat reported a case each to add to the two detected first in Karnataka.
In the Pune Metropolitan Region, a 44-year-old woman of Indian origin from Nigeria and her two daughters— aged 12 and 17—tested positive after travelling to Pimpri Chinchwad from the African country via Mumbai on November 24. Three of their contacts —the woman’s brother and his two kids—and a 47-year-old man who had travelled to Pune from Finland via Mumbai on November 26 are among the seven confirmed Omicron cases, health officials said on Sunday.
