In a recent development, the Indian government has announced new guidelines for foreign travelers entering the country. The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has issued a set of protocols that all international passengers must follow to curb the spread of COVID-19. According to the guidelines, travelers must submit a self-declaration form on the online portal at least 72 hours before their scheduled travel. They must also upload a negative RT-PCR test report, conducted within 72 hours of departure. Upon arrival, passengers will undergo thermal screening and those found symptomatic will be required to take a COVID-19 test at their own cost. Additionally, travelers are advised to download the Aarogya Setu app on their mobile devices. These measures are part of the government’s efforts to ensure the safety of its citizens and prevent a resurgence of the virus in the country. The guidelines are applicable to both Indian and foreign nationals entering India, and strict adherence is mandatory. Failure to comply with the protocols may result in penalties or deportation. With the travel restrictions gradually easing, it is crucial for all travelers to stay informed about the latest guidelines and take necessary precautions to protect themselves and others. The government continues to monitor the situation closely and may introduce additional measures as needed to contain the spread of COVID-19. Stay updated with the latest information and travel responsibly to help combat the pandemic effectively.
