Chandigarh, Nov 29 (IANS) A 39-year-old South Africa returnee was retested on Monday and turned out to be positive for Covid-19, the Chandigarh administration said.
One of his family members and domestic help were also tested positive for the virus.
As per protocol, the positive cases are being shifted to an institutional quarantine facility.
The samples of the positive cases will be sent for whole genome sequencing to the NCDC, Delhi, to ascertain the variant or variant of concern, if any, an official statement said.
"A 39-year-old male resident of Sector 36 had returned from South Africa on November 21. He was RT-PCR negative on his arrival at the airport. He was quarantined at home on his arrival in Chandigarh," it added.
Abdullah said he had come to witness the Retreat ceremony at the border, when he jumped over and crossed the Zero Line after the ceremony, telling BSF officials that he wanted to meet Shah Rukh Khan.
A kiosk has been set up at the international arrival hall of the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport, to gather feedback on ease of customs clearance.
While heading home last Saturday, the driver saw a woman with a baby in her arms, standing on the edge of a bridge. As he jumped off, he followed without a thought.
Taking to his Twitter handle, the 45-year-old said that there is a need of pitches like Perth in order to revive the Test cricket, adding that the track was by no means ‘average.’
