The Indian government has recently announced new guidelines for international travelers arriving in India. According to the latest updates, all international passengers will now have to undergo mandatory self-paid confirmatory molecular tests upon arrival at the airport. This decision comes as a precautionary measure to curb the spread of COVID-19 variants. The guidelines also state that passengers arriving from the United Kingdom, Europe, the Middle East, South Africa, Brazil, Bangladesh, Botswana, China, Mauritius, New Zealand, Zimbabwe, and Singapore will have to undergo these tests, irrespective of their vaccination status.
