In a recent development in India, the government has announced new guidelines for foreign travelers arriving in the country. The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has issued a set of protocols that all international passengers must follow in order to curb the spread of COVID-19. According to the guidelines, travelers must submit a self-declaration form on the online portal (www.newdelhiairport.in) at least 72 hours before their scheduled travel. They are also required to upload a negative RT-PCR test report, 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 at the airport. Travelers must also provide details of their travel history and contact information for the purpose of contact tracing. Additionally, passengers arriving without a negative test report will be mandatorily tested at the airport at their own cost. These new guidelines come in light of the rising number of COVID-19 cases in the country and are aimed at ensuring the safety of both travelers and the general public. It is important for all international passengers to adhere to these protocols to help contain the spread of the virus. Failure to comply with the guidelines may result in penalties or denial of entry into the country. Travelers are advised to stay updated on the latest information and guidelines provided by the authorities to have a smooth travel experience.
