BCCI President Sourav Ganguly’s elder brother and Cricket Association of Bengal joint secretary Snehasish Ganguly has tested positive for COVID-19. Former India Captain and CAB chief Avishek Dalmiya is also in home quarantine because of this.
Dalmiya gave a health update on Snehasish. In a statement issued by CAB, he said, “These are tough times. He has admitted himself yesterday at a city hospital. Other than having mild temperature, he is alright at the moment. Wish him a speedy recovery. I would be undergoing home quarantine for the next few days as per required protocol.”
Snehasish’s family along with their domestic help had tested positive for COVID-19 on June 20 at their residence in Mominpur. Since then, he had been residing with the BCCI President in Behala in their ancestral house.
It is unlikely that Sourav Gangul
y and Avishek Dalmiya would be tested. This is because the protocol requires some symptoms to show before testing. The CAB offices will remain closed indefinitely till further notice, as per Dalmiya.
“The CAB had not opened after Chandan Das, who works in the civil engineering department on a temporary basis, tested positive for COVID-19 on July 4. We will keep it closed indefinitely till further notice,” he said.
According to Dalmiya, he and Snehasish had gone to CAB last week during a brief visit of Kolkata Police officials to turn a few galleries of Eden Gardens into a quarantine facility.
