The Omicron Scare has now entered into the state of Tamil Nadu. On December 16, a Tamil Nadu resident has been tested positive for COVID 19 Omicron variant. The person is a 47-year-old guy who is showing asymptomatic symptoms. The person, as per the statement of Tamil Nadu Health Minister Ma Subramanian, is suspected to have an S-gene drop which confirms Omicron.
Although Chief Minister MK Stalin made it mandatory to thoroughly screen all the passengers who arrive from the high-risk countries, this man who arrived in Tiruchirapalli on December 10 via Doha tested positive for coronavirus during the RT-PCT test, the minister said.
“During the test, it was found that he had S-gene drop indicating Omicron variant. Though he was asymptomatic he and his six close contacts – mostly relatives – were admitted to the government facility at the King Institute, Guindy, for treatment,” the Minister told reporters in Trichy.
The possible threat of the entire nation getting affected by the Omicron COVID virus is looming large over India.
