State government, in partial modification of the Standard Operation Procedure (SOP), has notified that all persons entering the State from May 18, 2020 onwards, irrespective of place of origin of journey, would undergo 14-day institutional quarantine at designated centres and thereafter proceed for 14-day mandatory home quarantine.
In an order, state chief secretary, Temjen Toy, stated that persons above the age of 60 years, children below the age of 10 years, parents and pregnant women and accompanying spouses would be thoroughly screened and on the advice of the medical team at the Quarantine Centre be sent for mandatory Home Quarantine for 28 days with active surveillance.
However, the order stated that the above modifications would not apply to persons who have already entered the State before May 18, 2020 from Orange/Green Zones and have not crossed Red Zones en route to the State. All other provisions of the SOP would continue to be in effect, it stated.
