New Delhi:  In the wake of rising COVID-19 cases in India, 7-day home quarantine is mandatory for all international arrivals, according to the government of India's new directive issued on Friday. 

Also, the government has released the list of ‘At-risk’ countries from where travellers would need to follow additional measures on arrival in India, including post-arrival testing.

Travellers shall also be required to upload results of repeat RT-PCR test for COVID-19 done on eight day on Air Suvidha Portal. “If found negative (in the test), they will further self monitor for next 7 days,” the notification added.

All passengers arriving from at-risk countries will be tested upon arrival into India. The passengers have been adviced to book their tests in advance.
