In a recent development, the Indian government has announced new guidelines for foreign travelers entering the country. The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare issued a statement detailing the revised protocols that will be in effect starting from next month. According to the updated guidelines, all international passengers will be required to submit a self-declaration form on the online Air Suvidha portal before their 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 in India, passengers will undergo thermal screening and those found symptomatic will be required to undergo a mandatory COVID-19 test. While fully vaccinated passengers will be exempted from quarantine requirements, those who are not vaccinated or partially vaccinated will have to follow a seven-day home quarantine. The new guidelines aim to streamline the entry process for foreign travelers and ensure the safety of both passengers and the general public. These measures come in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the need to prevent the spread of the virus. Travelers are advised to stay updated on the latest guidelines and regulations to avoid any inconvenience during their journey to India. The government continues to monitor the situation closely and may introduce further changes to the protocols as needed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
