Seven-day institutional quarantine for Karnataka returnees from six high-risk COVID-19 states: SOP

Описание: BENGALURU: The Karnataka government on Friday said returnees from six states with high COVID-19 cases will be kept in institutional quarantine for seven days.

After they test negative for the disease in pool testing, they will be sent for home quarantine for another seven days, the government said.

In special cases like businessmen coming for urgent work, the quarantine period will be waived if they furnish a report from an ICMR-approved laboratory showing they tested negative for COVID-19, it said.

In case their stay exceeds 5 days, they will be sent to the fever clinic and get a five-day extension if found asymptomatic.

If found COVID-19 negative, they will be sent to home quarantine and will have to follow due precautions, the SOP stated.
