On Monday, 5 people, two of whom are Russian Nationals, and had arrived in Goa on a merchant ship, tested positive for Covid-19. They have been kept in isolation, and their samples have been sent to Pune for genome sequencing. Results are awaited for the same in order to determine whether the infection is caused by the omicron variant. The authorities have urged people not to panic, and complete the vaccination process to protect themselves against this new threat.
