Four cases of BF.7 sub-variant of Omicron, which is driving the huge Covid surge in China, has been detected in India, APA reports citing NDTV.
The cases have been detected in Gujarat and Odisha. There is no mandatory Covid protocol in the country as of now.
The Centre has asked states to send samples of all Covid positive cases to INSACOG genome sequencing labs. INSACOG is a forum under the Health Ministry to study and monitor various strains of Covid in India, which is mapped with all states and Union Territories.
Masks are not mandatory at airports either, but social distancing was advised.
