No COVID Test Among Centre’s Revised Travel Guidelines For Indians Being Evacuated From Ukraine

They have been exempted from the mandatory COVID requirements for international arrivals, it was announced on Monday.

In case a traveller is not able to submit a pre-arrival RTPCR test or has not completed their Covid-19 vaccination, they are allowed to submit their samples on arrival with the advice to self-monitor their health for 14 days after arrival in India, the ministry said in a statement.

Indian nationals not fulfilling either of the mandatory requirements of pre-boarding negative RT-PCR test report or fully vaccinated certificate as laid down in the present ‘Guidelines for International Arrivals’ have been exempted from uploading these documents on Air-Suvidha Portal before departure to India.

A total of five flights – one in Mumbai and four in Delhi, carrying Indians from Ukraine arrived in India with 1,156 passengers. None of the passengers has been kept under isolation so far, said the ministry in a statement.
