Deputy Commissioner Dr Rajendra KV directed authorities from Mangalore International Airport (MIA) and New Mangalore Port Trust (NMPT) to be vigilant to prevent the spread of the Omicron variant of Covid-19.
The DC was speaking at a meeting of representatives from the MIA and the NMPT. “Those who are arriving at the airport should compulsorily possess RT-PCR negative reports. If a person is tested positive at the airport, authorities should make arrangements to shift him/her to a hospital immediately in an ambulance,” he said.
“Even the NMPT should take all precautionary measures. All passengers from domestic and international vessels should undergo RT-PCR tests at the port upon their arrival,” he said.
