The Indian government recently announced new guidelines for international travelers arriving in India amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The guidelines include mandatory COVID-19 testing upon arrival, as well as a mandatory 14-day quarantine period. Travelers are required to submit a self-declaration form on the government’s online portal before their scheduled travel and also provide a negative RT-PCR test result taken within 72 hours of departure. Additionally, travelers will undergo another RT-PCR test upon arrival in India and must quarantine, even if the test result is negative. The quarantine period can be further reduced if the traveler undergoes another RT-PCR test on the 8th day of quarantine and receives a negative result. These guidelines are aimed at controlling the spread of the virus and ensuring the safety of the public. Travelers are urged to adhere to these guidelines strictly to prevent any potential outbreaks. Failure to comply with the guidelines may result in penalties or deportation. The government has also advised travelers to download the Aarogya Setu app on their smartphones for contact tracing purposes. These new guidelines come as India continues to battle the COVID-19 pandemic and strives to keep the infection rate under control. Travelers planning to visit India should stay updated on any new developments and guidelines to ensure a smooth and safe travel experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
