The state government has made arrangements to quarantine them.

The Sarusajai Stadium is acting as nerve centre, as I said, in our #Covid19 fight. All inbound persons are being brought here for swab tests and medical screening. Those found fit are being advised home quarantine, while people with some symptoms are rested here. Visited today. pic.twitter.com/lF7iSQuHUW
