Kolkata: Teenagers stored in hospital insulation as allegations of omicron patients have been tested negatively to the variant.
The genome sequencing report said the girl had contracted the Delta-Plus variant.
The Returnee of England is expected to be dismissed from the hospital on Tuesday.
The results of other suspect tests are expected this weekend.
“We have received international tourist reports from the UK.
The detected variant is Delta Plus (AY.
This is the first case of the Omicron suspect in Bengal.
With the girl, a resident of Alipore, tested negatively to a very contagious variant, health officials had sighed relieved.
Samples are sorted at the National Institute of Biomedical Genomics (NIBMG) in Kalyani.
Although the Amri Hospital, Dhakuria, where the girl admitted, it has been communicated verbally about the results of the genome sequencing test by health officials in the afternoon, hospitals received official communication at night.
Until late at night, the hospital had not taken off his call.
“The girl was almost asymptomatic since the first day.
She’s fine.
We have been told that she is not positive on Omicron.
So our doctor will receive a call on Tuesday when releasing it, remembering all the other Covid-19 protocols,” CEO Amri Hospital said Barua Rupak Group.
The 18-year-old leafbar, a student, has arrived in Kolkata from England through Doha, on Friday.

Delta Plus is a sub-genealogy of the Delta variant which triggers a massive second wave in this country.
Health officials said that the Delta-Plus variant was very circulating in Bengal like elsewhere in the county and not a major concern.
“Because this variant is a delta lineage with one of the two mutations, the manifestation will be the same.
The fact that these patients vaccinate double can be a reason not to experience severe diseases,” said Microbiologist Bhaskar Narayan Chaudhuri.

He was asymptomatic and fully vaccinated.
The source said the genome sequencing in Nibmg would likely take four to five days.
