Mumbai’s Latest Home Quarantine Rules Amid Omicron Threat: People In Home Quarantine To Get Call 5 Times A Day
Mumbai: Amid Omicron’s scare, the Mumbai civic body has issued a set of guidelines to ensure proper monitoring and supervision of international travellers arriving in the city and that in-home quarantine.
A seven-day home quarantine is mandatory for international travellers from at-risk countries.
As per the rules, Mumbai’s “ward war rooms”, or WWR teams, will dial all passengers during their home quarantine at least five times a day to monitor their health status. The teams will monitor whether the people who are in-home quarantine are following the guidelines or not.
Software will segregate passengers according to their addresses in 24 wards of the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai, or MCGM, to track all such passengers under home quarantine. The Disaster Management Unit will ensure distribution of the list of addresses to all 24 “ward war rooms”, or WWRs, and field medical officers.
WWR will call all passengers under home quarantine and inform them to be in-home quarantine for seven days. They will provide information about the COVID-19 protocol to the passengers and counsel them on their concerns.

WWR will regularly send its medical teams along with ambulances to check whether the said passengers are following the home quarantine protocol or not.
Every day at 9 am, the Chief Executive of Mumbai International Airport Limited will send a list of international passengers arriving from high-risk and at-risk countries in the last 24 hours and those who have visited these countries in the last 1 day. The list will be sent to the Director of the Disaster Management Unit.
On the seventh day of the home quarantine, WWR will ensure that the passengers undergo RT-PCR of their own accord or send the concerned team to their residence if required.
In case of appearance of any symptoms in the home quarantined passengers, WWR will advise treatment and hospitalisation as required. Such passengers will be counselled telephonically by WWR doctors.
