International travelers coming to Delhi are required to submit a self-declaration form on online 'Air Suvidha' portal before their scheduled travel.
Omicron is the new 'variant of concern' around the world. The new variant of COVID-19 first detected in South Africa has spread to many countries across the globe including India where two patients have been detected with the new strain in Karnataka.
Taking cognizance of the situation, India has introduced strict travel curbs and restrictions in a bid to avoid the spread of the virus. Many high-risk states are imposing stricter rules besides the Centre's guidelines to avoid any outbreak. Here's a statewide list of new guidelines to follow.
