A couple of other members of the Ganguly family are also down with the virus, she said. "Since dada (Sourav) tested positive for Covid-19, we have been taking the test every day. I am negative, but Sana tested positive for the disease," Dona told PTI when contacted.

Sourav Ganguly was hospitalised last month after having tested positive for Covid-19. The 49-year-old was discharged from the facility on December 31 and is in home isolation.

On the health condition of her husband, Dona said he is "recovering". Ganguly was admitted to a hospital twice last year and underwent emergency angioplasty after having some cardiac issues. His elder brother Snehasish Ganguly had also tested positive for COVID-19 in 2020.
