India announced its first two cases of the highly infectious Omicron Covid variant on Thursday, months after a devastating wave of the virus killed more than 200,000 people around the country.

A health worker collects swab samples from a traveller to test for the Covid-19 coronavirus at a railway station in New Delhi on December 1, 2021.

India has yet to impose new blanket international travel bans but on Monday the health ministry ordered all inbound travellers from “countries at-risk” to undergo mandatory post-arrival Covid testing, along with the random testing of other international arrivals. It is the latest coronavirus strain to emerge since the start of the pandemic, including the currently dominant Delta variant, which was first detected in India in October 2020.

That gathering, along with large state election rallies, was blamed by experts for fuelling the Delta surge.
