The Health and Family Welfare Department has warned of action against the foreign returnees who are not taking calls on their registered numbers from the 104/State Call Centre.
The department said that keeping phones in switched off mode or non-acknowledgement of calls will be viewed as jumping of home quarantine and liable to be prosecuted as per penal provisions.
