Omicron scare: Stricter norms for international passengers to be effective from Tuesday midnight
NEW DELHI: Strict norms for arriving international passengers, especially from ‘at-risk’ countries, will come into effect from Tuesday midnight and authorities are stepping their vigil for effective surveillance amid mounting concerns over the emergence of the coronavirus variant Omicron.
While no cases of Omicron have been reported so far in India, the Union government has asked states and Union Territories to ensure RT-PCR tests for travellers coming from ‘at-risk’ countries on the first day of arrival and retesting on the eighth day.
