Former
India team captain and the BCCI president, Sourav Ganguly, has been advised for
a home quarantine soon after his elder brother and Cricket Association of
Bengal (CAB) joint secretary, Snehasish Ganguly, was tested positive for the deadly
Coronavirus.
A former Bengal first-class player,
Snehasish Ganguly, has been admitted to the Belle Vue hospital here after his
COVID report came positive.
A CAB official said, “He was suffering
from fever for the last few days and his test report came positive today. He's
been admitted to Belle Vue Hospital”.
One of the close aids of Saurav Ganguly,
said "The reports arrived late in the evening. As per health protocols,
even Sourav will have to be in home quarantine for a stipulated period”
Snehasish had shifted to their ancestral
house, where Sourav is based, in Behala after his wife and in-laws at his
Mominpur residence tested positive for the dreaded virus.
The former India captain was, however,
unavailable for a comment on the development.
“Sourav had said about how life around
him has changed, making people more vulnerable. He had also said that his brother’s
every day visit to their factories have brought them at more risky zone”,
former batting star’s close aid added.
