Framework prepared, nod expected shortly: Health Director
The Union Territory will shortly issue guidelines for travellers coming into Puducherry in the wake of a global alert on the emergence of the Omicron coronavirus variant. As of now, two out of three travellers from Africa, have been placed under observation.
Officials who briefed Lt. Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan during a Covid Task Force meeting at the Raj Nivas, said that while one person was in Reddiarpalayam and the other in Karikkalampakkam, the third person was yet to complete quarantine.
The travellers reached Puducherry about a week ago.

The draft policy for “Responsible Digital Use Among Students”, released on Monday by the Department of Health and Family Welfare, has recommended that parents set structured routines with clear screen-time rules and prioritise privacy, safety, and open conversation with children on digital well-being.
