The two cricketers of Bangladesh women's team have tested negative in Covid-19 tests making an end to their 14-day self-isolation.
Bangladesh Cricket Board's (BCB) chief physician Dr Debashish Chowdhury confirmed the news.
He said: “Their Covid-19 test result came negative today [Monday]. Now they will go back to their homes.”
These cricketers had tested positive for coronavirus after returning from Zimbabwe earlier this month following the World Cup qualifiers, which was halted midway due to emergence of a new Covid-19 variant in Africa.
These two cricketers were the first victims of Omicron [the latest variant of coronavirus] in Bangladesh. Fortunately, they had mild symptoms and did not face any physical difficulties. Now the clearance enables these Tigresses to socialise after a couple of weeks of quarantine.
