Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant said with concerns over the Omicron variant of the coronavirus, all international passengers arriving in Goa will have to undergo mandatory testing. The decision was taken in a high-level meeting held with officials of the health department, the Goa Airport, the Mormugoa Port Trust among others on Tuesday.
“International passengers arriving in Goa will have to undergo compulsory testing and those arriving from the 12 countries of concern flagged by the Centre, will have to remain in isolation for 14 days. Other international passengers will be asked to isolate at home,” Sawant said.
“We will follow this strict protocol and every precaution that needs to be taken against the new variant will be taken,” Sawant said.
