Woman With Omicron Dies In Odisha; Cause Yet To Be Confirmed

Bhubaneswar: A woman, who had died at VIMSAR, Burla, on December 27, was found infected with Omicron on Wednesday.

According to sources, the 55-year-old woman from Agalpur in Odisha’s Balangir district had tested positive for COVID-19. She was admitted to the hospital on December 23 last year following a brain stroke and her sample was sent for genome sequencing.
