Now, swab tests would be done only on migrants from these states who develop symptoms in seven days of institutional quarantine. If they don’t develop symptoms, they will be sent to home quarantine for seven days after a health screening, a senior government official said. In effect, the Covid-19 confirmatory test is no longer mandatory for all returnees from high-incidence states, only for those with symptoms. “Most people infected with Covid-19 develop symptoms within seven days. If they develop symptoms after release from quarantine centres, they can be brought to Covid-19 hospitals,” he said.
