7-Day Mandatory Home Quarantine For All International Arrivals In India

New Delhi: 

People flying in from abroad will need to home quarantine for a week after landing in India and test on the eighth day, in new rules that take effect on Tuesday to tackle a huge Omicron-driven surge in Covid cases in the country.

The number of “at-risk” countries has been increased to 19; nine more have been added since December.

All passengers have to go into home isolation for seven days and take an RT-PCR test after that. If they test positive, they will be sent to an isolation facility and their samples will be sent for genome testing.
