Officials reported on Monday that a 41-year-old Austrian woman visiting the holy town of Vrindavan in Uttar Pradesh tested positive for Covid-19, bringing the total number of infected foreigners in Mathura district to four.
“In the RT-PCR test, one more foreign national was found to be coronavirus positive on Monday,” said Dr. Bhudeo Singh, the incharge of the Rapid Response Team.
On Saturday and Sunday, three foreigners from Spain, Switzerland, and Austria tested positive for coronavirus.
Officials claimed all four stayed in Vrindavan for a fortnight and underwent the Covid-19 test before returning home.
They’ve been segregated from the rest of the world. The region around Giridhar Ashram in Sheetal Chhaya in Vrindavan has been designated as a containment zone because all of the infected foreign nationals were residing there, according to officials.
On Sunday, Mathura District Magistrate Navneet Singh Chahal said an alert has been sounded in the district after the emergence of the Omicron variant of Covid-19 in South Africa and a few other countries.
A close watch is being maintained in Vrindavan, which attracts a large number of foreigners, he said.
