Mumbai: A three-and-half-year-old child is among the seven new cases of Omicron reported in Maharashtra on Friday. This takes the total figure for such infections in the state to 17.
Of the 7 new cases, three are from Mumbai and the rest from Pimpri Chinchwad, Pune. All the three Omicron patients in Mumbai have a travel history from Tanzania, the UK and South Africa-Nairobi, respectively. Mumbai now has five cases of the Omicron variant. Of the 7, four patients are asymptomatic, while 3 are having mild symptoms, News18 reported.
The other 4 patients in Pune are contacts of Nigerian women, who have already been confirmed as an Omicron case in previous reports.
Of the 7 patients, 4 have been fully vaccinated. Among the other three, one has received a single dose of the vaccine, another has not been vaccinated, and the third one is a child, hence not eligible for vaccination.
