No isolation in India for travellers from at-risk countries |
The Health Ministry of India in its new guidelines has said that passengers arriving from `At-Risk` countries and tested positive for Covid-19 on arrival in India will be treated as per the normal protocols and such passengers will not need to be admitted to an isolation facility. However, they still need to undergo home quarantine for seven days and then get the RT-PCR test done on the 8th day. If tested negative, they have to further self-monitor their health for the next seven days. For arrivals from at-risk countries, it says: “…if such travelers are tested positive (on arrival), their samples should be further sent for genomic testing at INSACOG laboratory network. They shall be treated/isolated as per laid down standard protocol.”
