A 35-year-old man, with travel history to Zimbabwe and South Africa, has tested positive for Omicron, becoming the second patient in Delhi of the new COVID-19 variant, sources said on Saturday.
He is admitted at the LNJP Hospital and only has weakness, they added.
He returned to India from Zimbabwe and had even travelled to South Africa, the sources said, adding that he is fully vaccinated.
The LNJP Hospital has been designated for treatment of patients infected with the new Omicron variant of the coronavirus.
