The Goa government has started screening people entering the state from Maharashtra, especially from the southern Sindhudurg district, where a case of Delta Plus variant has been detected, Chief Minister Pramod Sawant said on Friday.

"We have started screening people coming in from Maharashtra, especially from Sindhudurg. We have started isolating those who have suspected symptoms. We are also setting up labs (on the border)," Sawant told reporters at the state Bharatiya Janata Party headquarters here.
