Thiruvananthapuram: It is reported that Omicron has been confirmed in the state as well. Omicron has been confirmed to a native of Ernakulam from the UK. He reached Kochi at 6. Covid is positive for the patient’s wife and mother-in-law. The health minister said his contact list had been prepared.
Health Minister Veena George has warned people to be extra vigilant in the state in this situation. While Omicron has been confirmed in other countries, the state has been cautious. The activities were coordinated by regular meetings under the leadership of the Health Department. Special attention was paid from the airport as per the central guidelines. The aim is to detect the early stages of the disease, ensure expert treatment for them and thereby prevent the spread of the disease. Those who are positive from foreign countries are transferred to special wards in hospitals and those who are negative from risk countries are transferred to home quarantine. For those who are not, it is self-observation. The minister also said that samples of RT PCR-positive people from high-risk countries were being sent for omicron genetic testing.
