The woman had arrived in Mhow town near here in Madhya Pradesh 12 days back to attend the marriage of a close relative, the official said.
She had taken two doses each of Sinopharm and Pfizer's anti-COVID-19 vaccines between January and August, the official said.

But, she informed the airport's health staff that she was suffering from cold and cough four days back, Kourav said.
The health department staff got her admitted to a government hospital here, she added.
In the last few months, two women and a man were stopped from boarding the Indore-Dubai flight, being run every Wednesday, after they tested positive for the viral infection at the airport.
