International passengers coming from ‘at-risk’ countries must undergo an RT-PCR test upon arrival, and should undergo a 7-day quarantine. A second RT-PCR test will be taken on the seventh day and if it turns to be positive then they will be shifted to a Covid treatment facility. If the test is negative, the individual will have to undergo further 7 days of home quarantine.
The state health authorities said that 861 international passengers so far have been tested with RT-PCR and 3 of them have been found positive. Samples of all three have been sent for genomic sequencing.
