The professor is currently in home isolation in Jindal Global City of Sonipat after initially being admitted to the civil hospital’s isolation ward, said deputy medical superintendent Dr Ginni Lamba.
The professor’s blood, urine and swollen lymph-node samples were drawn and sent for examination to All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Delhi, to ascertain if he has been infected with Monkeypox. The report is expected within three days.
