New Guidelines for International Arrivals in India
Ministry of Health of Family & Welfare in consultation with Ministry of Civil Aviation updated guidelines for the international passengers coming to India in the view of the raising cases of mutant strain of COVID-19 in India.
These guidelines will supersede all guidelines issued on the subject since August 2, 2020. This Standard Operating Procedure shall be valid w.e.f. 22nd February 2021 (23.59 Hrs IST) till further orders,” MoCA said.
Only those travelling to India in case of emergencies such as death of a family member will be allowed to arrive without a Covid-negative report. However, they should seek exemption on the online portal 72 hours prior to boarding.
During the journey, all passengers should wear masks, observe social distancing norms and have downloaded the Aarogya Setu app. After deboarding, the passengers will have to undergo thermal scanning and show officials the self-declaration online form they had filled. Those found symptomatic during screening will be immediately isolated and taken to medical facilities.
