Only on August 11 the state authorities learnt that she had the Delta Plus variant infection after the genome sequencing report came, the official said.

According to a health department statement, a 50-year-old woman from Thane was found coronavirus positive on July 22 and her report received on Friday revealed she was infected with the Delta Plus variant. The woman had mild symptoms and she has since recovered, the statement said.
