Kolkata: BCCI president Sourav Ganguly has been admitted to a city hospital after testing positive for Covid-19. However, Sourav Ganguly is ‘stable’, the medical institution, where he is undergoing treatment, said Tuesday. Ganguly, who is double vaccinated, was rushed Monday evening to Woodlands Hospital here as a precautionary measure after his RT-PCR test returned positive.
The 49-year-old Ganguly had undergone an emergency angioplasty earlier this year. Given the former Indian captain’s health history, a panel of the doctors is keeping a close watch on his health status.

Ganguly has been travelling extensively, taking part in all professional activities. His elder brother Snehasish had also tested positive for Covid-19 early this year.
