As many as 4,973 people recovered from the viral disease, the health buletin further read.
The revised guidelines by Rajasthan comes days after the Union ministry of health and family welfare revised its guidelines for international arrivals in the wake of an improvement in the Covid-19 pandemic situation. The demarcation of ‘at-risk’ countries has been removed from the new guidelines that will come into effect from February 14.
The health ministry has also recommended 14 days of self-monitoring post-arrival as against a seven-day home quarantine which was mandated earlier.
