Visakhapatnam: Amid concerns over Covid-19 new variant Omicron, Visakhapatnam District Collector Mallikarjuna said on Friday that some international returnees who might have come to Visakhapatnam from Bengaluru, Chennai or Hyderabad are untraceable.
He said the administration had received a list of international returnees who might have come to Visakhapatnam from Bengaluru, Chennai or Hyderabad. He said that some of them had been traced while some are untraceable.

“Protocol is very clear. Once any international traveller tests positive, apart from following the routine protocol of containment and treatment, we are sending their samples to genome sequencing,” said Mallikarjuna.
