Sourav Ganguly has been admitted to the Woodlands Hospital in Kolkata with mild symptoms Monday night, according to a report published in India Today.
His blood samples will be sent for genome sequencing to ascertain if he has contracted the Omicron variant or not.
“He was taken to Woodlands Nursing Home last night. He has been given medication and is currently stable," a BCCI source was quoted by Press Trust of India (PTI) as saying.
