From Tuesday, January 11, everyone arriving in India will have to quarantine for a length of seven days, regardless of the test result for COVID-19. Previously, isolation was only required for travelers from countries with a poor epidemic situation.

In this case, tourists will have to take the PCR test three times. The first time - 72 hours before boarding the plane, the second - upon arrival in the country, and the third - on the eighth day of quarantine. In case of a positive result, the traveler will have to remain in quarantine or go to the hospital.

Earlier, during the New Year holidays in India , additional quarantine measures were introduced against the spread of covid. Thus, a curfew was declared in the country, restaurants were to limit the number of visitors. In Mumbai, for example, it was impossible to gather in companies of more than five people.
