In response to the global outbreak of the Covid-19 virus, all international passengers travelling to India from China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and Thailand will be required to undergo mandatory RT-PCR tests before departure and upload a report to the Air Suvidha portal beginning January 1, 2023, according to Union Health Ministry sources on Thursday.

According to Union Health Ministry sources, the next 40 days will be critical since India may experience an increase in COVID cases towards the middle of January. According to the sources, the judgement was formed after analysing the historical trends of the country’s COVID increase.

Because of reports of an increase in COVID cases in various countries, the operational readiness of health facilities in all states and union territories is being assessed in case of another wave.

A recent increase of Covid cases has been detected around the world, owing to the BF.7 variety, which is thought to be the principal source of the increase, particularly in nations such as China and the United States.
