Two cases of the Omicron variant have recently been discovered in Puducherry. However, the court has allowed New Year’s Eve celebrations under strict COVID-19 guidelines. To keep the celebrations under control, the Union Territory will form several teams of health, revenue, and police authorities who will personally watch them. Following this, Lt. Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan directed the UT administration to take all necessary steps to ensure that COVID-19 acceptable behavior is strictly enforced in order to avoid a spike in cases during the holiday season.
