This depends on the cost of the testing versus the risks and benefits of the allowing the visitors. There is a risk the testing is not 100% accurate and people could be exposed and die. In real life this situation has been met with total bans and/or testing.

Course 1 follows definitely. Country X is found to be source of affected person. Therefore, all efforts should be targeted to checking person coming from Country X. This checking arrangement may take some time and resources while becoming functional. Therefore, as of now there should be immediate ban on person coming from that country.

I agree @Jaydev -.
The priority should be reducing the chance of contamination. Allowing groups of people to travel from Country X would result in further infection and transmission to India unless all travellers were screened before departure.

@Rajjat.
From the practical example of COVID-19 when it was at its peak total ban was the order of the day for many countries to high-risk countries.
