Amid the Omicron scare, Karnataka Health Minister Dr K Sudhakar on Monday said the sample of one of the two persons who arrived in Bengaluru recently from South Africa is ‘different from the Delta variant’.

“There is a 63-year-old man whose name I should not disclose. His report is a bit different. It appears different from the Delta variant. We will discuss with the ICMR officials and will let people know by the evening what it is,” the minister said. Meanwhile, officials from Madhya Pradesh are looking for a woman from Bostwana who visited the state on November 18.
