She had travelled to her hometown in Assam on a 11-day leave to meet her ailing mother prior to the Indian team’s departure to Italy for a 52 day training camp.
She was tested upon her arrival back from Assam on October 11, as per protocol and tested negative in the initial test.
However upon being tested on October 15 again, four days after her return from Assam, before her departure for the European trip in Delhi, she tested positive.
She has been in isolation since returning from Guwahati, as per SOP. She is being given requisite treatment and is under medical observation.
