Cabinet Secretary Rajiv Gauba has told state governments to step up the surveillance of international passengers who reached India before the government banned commercial flights from abroad from landing in the country.
'May jeopardise efforts': Cabinet Secretary redflags gap in Covid-19 surveillance
Gauba, the country's senior-most bureaucrat, said there was a gap in the number of passengers who should have been monitored and the actual number.
'This may seriously jeopardise our efforts to contain the spread of Covid-19, given that many amongst the people who have tested positive for Covid-19 so far in India have a history of international travel,' the Cabinet Secretary said in a letter to all chief secretaries on Thursday.
