Congress leader Rahul Gandhi posted a video of Congress' Bharat Jodo Yatra to wish everyone a happy new year and said, "it is expected that in 2023, every street, every village, every city will have a shop of love."
However, the world has welcomed the New Year when Covid-19 cases have witnessed a sudden rise. In December 2022, China lifted its stringent zero covid policy following protests from its citizens resulting in a massive increase in coronavirus cases.
In view of the current Covid situation in China, India made the RT-PCR test mandatory for flyers coming from China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Singapore and Thailand from January 1, 2023, Union Home Minister Dr Mansukh Mandaviya said on Thursday.
Any passenger from the aforementioned countries found symptomatic or testing positive for Covid-19 would be quarantined.
