Last Updated IST
Archaeologists in Egypt have unearthed a sphinx statue "with a smiley face and two dimples" near the Hathor Temple.
The state government on Wednesday announced to exempt four categories of international passengers from institutional quarantine: pregnant women, children under-10, elderly persons of 80 years and above and terminally ill will be sent for home quarantine.
They will be stamped accordingly. However, the exemption does not apply to inter-state travellers. Meanwhile, Jawaid Akhtar, Additional Chief Secretary, Health, said, “ICMR will conduct serosurvey using ELISA-based rapid test kits in Bengaluru, Chitradurga and Kalaburagi districts to check community transmission.”
