The Ministry of Health today issued revised guidelines for international passengers arriving in India from 14 February. “Besides uploading negative RT-PCR report (taken 72 hrs prior to journey), option to upload certificate of completing full primary vaccination schedule of COVID-19 vaccination provided from countries on a reciprocal basis," according to a statement issued by the Ministry of Health. International travelers will no longer need to quarantine for seven days or get tested at the airport if they come from an at-risk country. With the omicron variant-driven wave subsiding in the country, the government has also done away with a repeat test on day 8 of arrival.

 

All international travellers, irrespective of whether they had Covid-19 symptoms, were supposed to remain in quarantine for seven days, get tested on the eighth, and upload the report to the government’s Air Suvidha portal. Instead, now they have to monitor their health for a period of 14 days and report any Covid-19 like symptoms either to the nearest health facility or the government helpline 1075.
