According to health officials, the man’s general condition was fine on Monday, and he is recovering and has no other issues.
‘In the context of Omicron, more attention must be exercised to observe if new clusters are emerging, and if so, genetic sequencing must be performed in such locations,’ Pinarayi stated while chairing a Covid assessment conference of top officials.
