Kolkata (West Bengal): BCCI president and former India team captain, Sourav Ganguly has been admitted to a hospital in Kolkata after he tested positive for Covid-19, sources said on Tuesday.
Sourav, sources said, is being treated at Woodlands Hospital here after his test came positive for the virus on Monday evening. He has been admitted to a private hospital in Kolkata. The test result shows a viral load is 19.5 though doctors say that his condition is stable.
"He received Monoclonal Antibody Cocktail therapy on the same night and is currently haemodynamically stable," Dr Rupali Basu, MD & CEO of Woodlands Hospital, said in a statement.
"A medical board comprising Dr Saroj Mondal, Dr Saptarshi Basu and Dr Soutik Panda in consultation with Dr Devi Shetty and Dr Aftab Khan is keeping a close watch on his health status," Basu added.
This is the second major hospitalisation for Ganguly in 2021. In January, he was admitted to a private hospital following a cardiac arrest. At that point in time, he had undergone multiple angioplasty procedures. But he recovered soon after.
