People around the world have been severely affected by the outbreak of COVID-19, which has so far infected a large number of people. The South African cricket team, who have now returned to their country after a short visit to India, was infected with the virus at the same hotel where Indian singer Kanika Kapoor was diagnosed with the infection.

The one-day series between India and South Africa was halted after the first match in the rain-washed Dharamsala. Officials have taken steps to prevent the virus from spreading to players and attendees who witness games.

But after various CCTV footage confirmed that Kanika Kapoor was staying in the same hotel as the group after returning from London, the bad news went to Proteus. The team led by Quinton de Kock has reached Lucknow to play the second ODI of the series.

Officers to scan the CCTV footage

However, according to officials engaged in footage surveillance, it is yet to be confirmed whether any of the cricketers in the hotel had any contact with the cricketers. “There are reports that she had lunch at a hotel buffet and attended several guests in the lobby.

“Kanika briefly reportedly attended the news channel’s annual meeting at the hotel. Therefore, it is important to scan the CCTV footage and list her acquaintances,” an official told Times of India.
