Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said there is a need to be proactive in the light of the new SARS-CoV-2 “variant of concern” Omicron and directed officials to review plans for easing of international travel restrictions in the wake of reports related to the new mutations of the virus.

Meanwhile, the government is likely to come out with its policy on additional dose in the coming week for people with predefined conditions. However, their primary objective will be to immunise the 10-12 crores who remain unvaccinated.
