New Delhi: (Geetesh Ujjainwal, Intern Journalist) Pregnant women and parents with children below 10 years may be exempted from the mandatory seven-day institutional quarantine while flying into Delhi from abroad.
The IGI Airport on Tuesday listed four categories of international arrivals with no onward connection for exemptions, which also include those who have suffered a death in the family and those suffering from any serious illness.
“Airlines may notify passengers at the time of reservation that the receiving Indian state government(s) may authorize exemptions from institutional quarantine,” according to a statement.
Flyers coming from abroad are supposed to undergo seven days’ institutional quarantine at their own cost, followed by seven days of home quarantine.
After the thermal screening, domestic passengers with no symptoms will be permitted to home quarantine themselves for seven days.
