International passengers arriving in Goa from any of the 12 countries
affected by the Omicron variant of the coronavirus will have to stay in
isolation for 14 days, Chief Minister Pramod Sawant said on Tuesday.
"Every international passenger will be compulsorily tested. This has been decided. Passengers from the 12 countries which are affected (by the new variation) will have to be isolated. They will be monitored. This will be the strict protocol followed at the Goa airport and MPT (designated international cruise terminal)," Sawant said.
Sawant also said that according to central government guidelines, inbound passengers from the 12 countries on arrival in Goa will have to isolate themselves and get themselves tested after 7 days. "If they are negative there will be some relaxation for the remaining seven days," he said.
"Government of India guidelines for these 12 countries will be strictly followed. We have said that every international passenger will be tested at the MPT and airport. The protocol will be implemented tomorrow," the Chief Minister also said.- IANS
