Along with Ganguly, CAB chief Avishek Dalmiya is also in-home quarantine. The former India captain was handling all his work from an office near his residence, due to a rise in COVID-19 cases.
Sharing a health update on Snehasish, Dalmiya, in a statement issued by CAB, 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."
"Yes, I would be undergoing home quarantine for the next few days as per required protocol."
Ganguly had also not resumed the shooting for a famous Bengali TV show 'Dadagiri Unlimited Season Eight' because of COVID-19 cases.
"There was a notice saying that the Rajarhat studio was in a containment zone so we could not resume any shooting for season eight this time," a crew member told PTI.
Ganguly and Dalmiya haven't shown any symptoms until now. Meanwhile, the CAB offices will remain closed until further notice.
"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," Dalmiya said.
Dalmiya had joined Snehasish to visit Kolkata Police officials for permission to turn a few galleries of Eden Gardens into a quarantine facility.
"During the meeting with the Kolkata Police authorities at their headquarters Lal Bazar, only I was present on behalf of the Association. However, Snehasish Ganguly had joined during the latter part of their brief visit at Eden Gardens," he said.
