BENGALURU: At least 138 air passengers arriving from the United Kingdom, where a new variant of SARS-CoV-2 virus was reported a fortnight ago, have entered Karnataka after flying in without COVID-19 negative certificates or being subjected to tests on arrival.
With the Civil Aviation Ministry banning all incoming flights from the UK, and the Union Health and Family Welfare Ministry issuing directions on Monday to all states and Union territories to put in place testing and quarantine protocols for air travellers on arrival from the UK, the State Government is now tracing these passengers.

New Delhi: AYUSH is the acronym of the alternative medical systems historically practised in India such as Ayurveda, Yoga & Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathy. The Centre has promoted these alternative medicine systems although these are not backed by modern medical science.
Its efficacy is such that the Indian Medical Association (IMA) had to counter Centre’s Ayush protocol for Covid-19 management. Notably, the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare has a clinical protocol for Covid-19 based World Health Organisation (WHO) guidelines which the Centre recommends to follow.
