Covid-19 isolation rules changed for travellers arriving India

Travellers from any country arriving India, who tested Covid positive, will not compulsorily be at an isolation centre from today itself, but they should quarantine themselves at home following necessary rules and regulations. According to the guidelines for international arrivals proposed on Thursday, the government officials said that foreign arrivals who test positive, will still have to be in home quarantine for a week even if they test negative after it, and they should go for RT-PCR test on the 8th day of their arrival.

The revised guidelines are determining that the rule for travellers arriving from any country should stay at home isolation, if they tested positive, in lieu of staying at respective isolation centres. And, this step has been into implementation from today. The government said, if passengers found to be symptomatic during screening, they will be isolated on the spot and admitted to a medical facility. If they tested positive, their contacts shall be identified and managed as per the protocols.
