The Indian government recently announced new guidelines for international travelers arriving in the country, making it mandatory for all passengers to undergo a seven-day institutional quarantine upon arrival. This decision comes as India faces a surge in COVID-19 cases, with the new variants posing a significant threat. The guidelines state that travelers will have to bear the cost of the quarantine, which will be followed by seven days of home quarantine. Additionally, all travelers will be required to submit a self-declaration form on the online Air Suvidha portal before their scheduled travel. Failure to comply with the guidelines may result in penalties, including fines and deportation. These measures are aimed at controlling the spread of the virus and preventing a further surge in cases. The government has also advised against non-essential travel and urged people to follow all safety protocols, including wearing masks, maintaining social distancing, and regularly washing hands. With the situation evolving rapidly, it is crucial for travelers to stay informed about the latest guidelines and regulations to ensure a safe and smooth travel experience.
