The repatriation process is expected to be expanded in the next few weeks to include more stranded citizens in other European and Southeast Asian nations, local media reported.
On Thursday, the first two repatriation flights brought back 354 Indians from Abu Dhabi and Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. They then went into quarantine centres. Two returnees have since tested positive for coronavirus, Kerala state Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said late Saturday. He added that it was “a warning to those coming back from abroad and for other states to be on the alert”.Authorities on Sunday reported 62,939 cases with 2,109 deaths, with recent days having seen record jumps.
