(NITN): Under the amended travel rules, India has made a seven day quarantine compulsory for international travellers.
The changes made to the existing travel guidelines will come in effect from Jan. 11.
Passengers in transit or originating from ‘at risk’ nations will face post arrival testing. They will be placed under quarantine if results are negative and isolation rules will be applicable if people test covid positive.
Travellers who arrive from a specified list of at risk nations will need to provide a sample for on arrival testing. They will also need to wait for test results before exiting or boarding a connecting flight.
