101, including 90 students, test Covid positive in Karnataka school; samples to be sent for genome sequencing

Hindustan Times  

As many as 101 people, including 90 students, in a school in Karnataka's Chikkamagaluru district have tested positive for coronavirus disease, adding to the already existing cluster of infections in the area amid the spread of Omicron in the country, officials said on Monday. Their samples will be sent for genome sequencing to find out if anyone has been infected with the new Omicron variant of the coronavirus, Chikkamagaluru district health officer Dr SN Umesh told news agency ANI. Following the discovery of mass-scale Covid-19 positive cases, the district health officer said the school will be sealed and remain shut for the next seven days. On Sunday, a new cluster was identified at a private nursing school in Shivamogga called Nanjappa Institute of Nursing Sciences in which as many as 29 students tested positive for the virus.
