At noon local time on the 9th, the Ministry of Health of India announced that 90 COVID-19 patients have been found to have been infected with the mutant novel coronavirus found in the United Kingdom, an increase of eight compared with the previous day.
The number of cases of mutant COVID-19 in India continues to rise, raising a high level of vigilance in the city of New Delhi.
On the 8th, the New Delhi government issued an emergency executive order requiring passengers from the United Kingdom to be quarantined at designated places for seven days, even if they tested negative for the novel coronavirus, and then stay at home for seven days.
Passengers who have previously tested negative for the virus can be quarantined at home.
On the 8th, the temporary regulations issued by the New Delhi Municipal Government brought chaos to the New Delhi airport.
After the new regulations came into effect, passengers were very dissatisfied with the “last-minute change” of quarantine regulations after a plane with 250 passengers took off from the United Kingdom.
Indian civil aviation department restarted some flights from New Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore and Hyderabad to the United Kingdom on the 8th.
