Dr Subhash Salunkhe, state advisor on Covid-19, tests positive for infection

“I do not have any complaints and my CT scan is normal,” Dr Salunkhe told The Indian Express. “My wife is in home isolation and so far there are no complaints,” he said.

On Tuesday, Divisional Commissioner Saurabh Rao had tested positive for coronavirus infection. He had also taken the first dose of the Covishield vaccine.

Dr Salunkhe, however, noted that there could be a cause for concern if the virus was altering and escaping the antibodies that develop post-vaccination. “We need to urgently detect these virus mutations and issue guidelines to allay anxiety among citizens,” said Dr Salunkhe.
