Bhubaneswar: The Odisha government has modified its earlier order, making seven-day home isolation mandatory for people coming from 12 high-risk states by planes and trains.

District collectors, municipal commissioners, CDMOs and PHOs have now been directed to keep a vigil on people coming to Odisha from five states- Punjab, Maharashtra, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh.

“The situation is under watch and surveillance may be extended to other states in future if an emergency arises,” the Health & Family Welfare Department’s letter said.

The asymptomatic passengers coming from five high-risk states will mandatorily undergo seven-day home isolation following arrival. However, those having RT-PCR negative report ( (done not more than 72 hours before boarding) or COVID-19 vaccination final certificate are exempted.

The government had earlier ordered surveillance and testing and imposed restrictions on people coming from Maharashtra, Kerala, Telangana, Chhattisgarh, West Bengal, Punjab, Delhi, Chandigarh, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.
