An official in Indian State Maharashtra’s Thane district claimed on Monday that over 100 recent foreign returnees are untraceable due to the Omicron scare.

According to KMDC chairman Vijay Suryavanshi, 109 out of 295 recent foreign returnees to the Kalyan Dombivali Municipal Corporation (KMDC) township in Thane district are now untraceable.

Some of these people’s phones were turned off, and many of the last addresses they gave were determined to be locked, he added.

Returnees to KDMC boundaries from all ‘at risk’ nations must undertake a 7-day home quarantine, followed by a COVID-19 test on the eighth day, according to current rules.

“Even if the test is negative, they will be subjected to another seven-day home quarantine, and it will be the responsibility of housing society members to guarantee that the norm is not broken,” he said.

Maharashtra has documented ten cases of the new variant thus far.

The state’s first case was reported from Dombivili.

Seven people in the Pune district later tested positive for the Omicron strain of coronavirus, including a non-resident Indian (NRI) mother and her two Nigerian kids.
