BCCI president Sourav Ganguly has been admitted to a city hospital after testing positive for Covid but the former India captain is “stable”, the medical institution where he is undergoing treatment said today.

Ganguly, who has got both doses of the Covid vaccine, was rushed to the Woodlands Hospital on Monday evening as a precautionary measure after his RT-PCR test returned positive.

The 49-year-old had undergone an emergency angioplasty earlier this year and given his medical history, a panel of the doctors is keeping a close watch on his health.

“He received Monoclonal Antibody Cocktail therapy on the same night and is currently hemodynamically stable,” Dr Rupali Basu, MD and CEO of Woodlands Hospital, said in a statement. — PTI

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
