Hours after the Centre announced that two people had tested positive for the Omicron variant of the novel coronavirus in Karnataka, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said it was “sad” that India did not stop flights from affected countries.
After the variant was detected in South Africa, followed by countries in Europe, the CM had urged the Prime Minister on two separate occasions to stop flights from countries where the variant was detected.
Responding to a tweet which said that two patients had tested positive for the Omicron variant, Kejriwal tweeted, “It’s sad that we did not stop flights from affected countries.”
