People who went from Mumbai to Goa were not allowed to land
Those on the cruise, whose report will come negative, will have to stay in home isolation for the next 7 days. Cordelia Cruises had left for Goa from Mumbai on December 31. All passengers and crew members had a rapid antigen test while leaving Mumbai. In this, the ship was stopped at sea near Mormugao Port cruise terminal in Goa after a crew member was found positive. The government there had refused to allow the ship to dock.
Kovid rules were broken even before on cruise
The Disaster Management Act imposed during the Corona epidemic is in force in Maharashtra. Under this, it is mandatory to go to public places without a mask and follow the rule of two yards. However, after the arrest of Aryan Khan, in the video of the party which was released on the cruise, it was clear that no such rule was followed by the people present here.
