Delhi makes 7-day institutional quarantine compulsory and paid

International arrivals are expected to lodge themselves in a seven day institutional quarantine - at their own cost - and then home quarantine for the remaining seven days of the requisite period.

People arriving will have to undergo mandatory health screenings, first by airport authorities and then by the government, after which they will have to go to the quarantine facility.

People travelling within India will be allowed to leave the airport only if they show no symptoms of the virus, and will have to mandatorily quarantine in their house for seven days, while people switching from international to domestic flights will have to obtain exemption certificates.

The only exemptions to these rules are pregnant women, recently bereaved people, parents travelling with children and people suffering serious illness; they will have to obtain prior permissions.
