Amid news of a new strain of coronavirus discovered in the United Kingdom, the Chhattisgarh government on Tuesday issued a fresh SOP (standard operating procedure) for travelers from the UK entering the state.
“People coming to Chhattisgarh from the UK via airplane, train, road or other ways must undergo RT-PCR test while entering Chhattisgarh,” a press release said.
If they test Covid positive, they should be kept in Covid center or quarantine centre. Also, the SOP should be followed for contact tracing, it added.
The release said that after the patient recovers from the disease, they should be advised to stay in home isolation for at least 14 days. Also, patient’s follow up should be ensured during this duration.
