State modifies home isolation order

Sunday, 28 February 2021 | PNS | BHUBANESWAR

The State Government has revised the week-long home isolation order announced for travellers coming from other States.

Health and Family Welfare ACS Pradipta KumarK Mohapatra in partial modification to the instructions issued on Friday has clarified that at present, the precautionary measures may be limited to passengers from five high-risk States (instead of 12), namely, Maharashtra, Kerala, Punjab, Madhya Pradesh and  Chhattisgarh.Mohapatra said the situation is under watch; and surveillance may be extended to other States in future if the situation so warrants.

He said the seven-day mandatory home isolation for arrivals from the five high-risk States can be dispensed with for asymptomatic passengers who have RT-PCR negative reports (done not more than 72 hours before boarding) or a Covid vaccination final certificate.

Earlier, the Odisha Government had made the seven-day home isolation mandatory for returnees from Maharashtra, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Telangana, West Bengal, Punjab, Delhi, Chandigarh, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh to Odisha.
