Covid Omicron: What Kejriwal said to PM Modi in letter on international flights

Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal wrote a letter to PM Modi over the new variant of Covid, Omicron. Kejriwal urged PM Modi to stop flights coming to India from countries affected by Omicron. He said that many countries have suspended travel to affected regions in view of Omicron. “Our country has fought a tough fight against corona for the last one and half years. With great difficulty and due to the selfless service of millions of our Covid warriors, our country has recovered from coronavirus. We should do everything possible to prevent the new variant of concern, recently recognised by the WHO, from entering India… I urge you to stop flights from these regions with immediate effect. Any delay in this regard may prove harmful, if any affected person enters India.” Meanwhile, Delhi govt has called a meeting of Delhi Disaster Management Authority on Monday to discuss steps that need to be taken in view of Omicron threat.
