After the first case of the new Omicron sub-variant, BA.4, in India was reported from Hyderabad on Thursday, now a second case has been discovered in Tamil Nadu. The Tamil Nadu Directorate of Public Health and Preventive Medicine released a bulletin and said, "While the identification of the BA.4 Omicron Sub-variant is not a cause of any immediate panic, it is more a reminder to continue the focus on eligible persons getting completely vaccinated and the need to continue to follow Covid appropriate behaviour in crowded areas."
An India Today report has identified the infected person as a resident of Navalur in Chengalpattu district, located 30 kilometers from Chennai.
