Institutional quarantine for int’l travellers returning to UP waived, but with riders
Lucknow: 27.08.2020
The Uttar Pradesh government has waived seven-day mandatory institutional quarantine under certain conditions for international travellers coming to the state for more than seven days. It has also relaxed Covid-19 protocol for its natives travelling to other states for work for up to five days.
Speaking on revised guidelines for international travellers, additional chief secretary, health and family welfare, Amit Mohan Prasad said: “Earlier, anyone coming to the state from abroad for more than a week had to be quarantined for 14 days — seven days under institutional and remaining under home.”
However, under new protocol, pregnant women, people visiting the state in case of a death in the family, those suffering from serious illness and parents whose children are below 10, can avail full 14 days of home quarantine. TNN
