In a recent development, the Indian government has announced new guidelines for foreign travelers entering the country. The guidelines come amidst the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and aim to ensure the safety of both travelers and the Indian population. According to the new rules, all foreign travelers, including those who are fully vaccinated, will have to undergo mandatory RT-PCR testing upon arrival in India. The test must be conducted within 72 hours of departure and those testing positive will have to follow the protocols set by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. Additionally, travelers coming from at-risk countries will have to undergo seven days of institutional quarantine, followed by seven days of home quarantine. The guidelines also state that airlines must identify international travelers arriving from at-risk countries and segregate them from other passengers during the journey. These measures have been put in place to curb the spread of COVID-19 and prevent the emergence of new variants in India. Travelers are advised to stay updated on the latest guidelines and protocols before planning their trip to India.
