With the number of novel Coronavirus positive cases increasing in India, passengers travelling to the country from China, Hong Kong, Republic of Korea, Italy, Iran and other Covid-19 affected countries will now have to fill up a new form aboard their flights.
The announcement was made by the Modi-led NDA government as part of the latest measures taken to prevent the spread of Covid-19, which has claimed over 3,000 lives and infected at least 90,000 people worldwide.
On the recommendation from the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, the Ministry of Civil Aviation has requested all airlines to distribute a "self-reporting form" to international passengers.
"For all travellers arriving from China, Hong Kong, Republic of Korea, Italy, Iran and other Covid-19 affected countries (to be presented at the health or immigration counters). All persons coming to India from covid-19 affected countries are required to fill this up. You are requested to provide the following information to safeguard your own health," the form states.
In the above form, details regarding your personal information need to be shared. Apart from it, details regarding the countries that you have visited in the last 14 days have to be filled. Also, whether you're suffering from any fever, cough or any respiratory diseases.
