In a recent development, the Indian government has announced new guidelines for international travelers arriving in India. As per the guidelines, all travelers will have to submit a self-declaration form on the online Air Suvidha portal before the scheduled travel. Additionally, travelers must upload a negative RT-PCR test report on the portal, which should be conducted within 72 hours of the journey. Upon arrival, passengers will undergo thermal screening and those found symptomatic will be required to undergo testing. Travelers from the United Kingdom, Europe, and the Middle East will have to undergo mandatory institutional quarantine for seven days, followed by seven days of home quarantine. However, passengers coming from other countries can seek exemption from institutional quarantine by submitting a negative RT-PCR test report upon arrival. These guidelines aim to prevent the spread of new COVID-19 variants and ensure the safety of the Indian population. The government has also advised travelers to follow COVID-appropriate behavior during their stay in India. With the implementation of these guidelines, the Indian government is taking proactive steps to manage international travel effectively amidst the ongoing pandemic. Travelers are urged to stay updated on any changes in the guidelines and adhere to the protocols to facilitate a smooth entry into the country.
