Asked about the "at risk" countries list of India and the Omicron threat, Ministry of External Affairs Spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said it is an "evolving situation".
India has not imposed any travel curbs like some other countries that have stopped flights from regions or nations they relate to Omicron but has intensified surveillance mechanisms and protocol for those who happen to come from "at risk" countries, the Ministry of External Affairs said on Thursday.
Asked about the "at risk" countries list of India and the Omicron threat, Ministry of External Affairs Spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said it is an "evolving situation".
He said that there were 11 entries in the "at risk" list of nations and with the first one being European countries, including the UK, and therefore, the total number of countries on the list was much higher.
The list was a result of a "technical decision" based on evidence by India's health regulatory authorities, Mr Bagchi said.
