Omicron scare: Centre issues new guidelines

The Union Health Ministry on Sunday issued revised guidelines for international arrivals in India which will come into effect from December 1. The revised guidelines mandate submitting 14 days' travel details and uploading a negative RT-PCR test report on the Air Suvidha portal before the journey.

As per Health Ministry's guidelines, travellers from 'countries at-risk' will need to take Covid test post arrival and wait for the results at the airport. If tested negative, they'll follow home quarantine for seven days.
