Union Health Minister Dr Mandaviya has announced that filling out the Air Suvidha form will be mandatory for international arrivals coming from China, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong & Thailand. At the same time, the Union Minister also made RT-PCR tests mandatory for all passengers arriving from the aforementioned countries. If found positive or symptomatic, the passengers will be quarantined. The move has been made considering the spike in cases of the virus in these countries.
Air Suvidha forms are self-declaration of the health of passengers travelling to India from the said international destinations. These forms have been reintroduced to keep a check on the passengers arriving from the countries most affected by the virus.
The Indian government has been very active in monitoring international travellers. Earlier, the Ministry of Health declared that 2 percent of passengers travelling on international routes will be subjected to random sampling tests at the airport from today. Adhering to the guidelines, Mumbai International Airport, Bengaluru’s Kempegowda International Airport, and Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport started the random sampling.
