Mumbai: Flyers from Dubai must quarantine at home for 7 days

MUMBAI: The BMC on Friday made a seven-day home quarantine compulsory for all passengers arriving from Dubai, a travel hub where many change flights leading to mixing of people.

Fully-vaccinated city residents won't have to undergo an RT-PCR test at the airport.

After seven days, if they test negative they will have to self-monitor for a week more and if they test positive, they will be moved to institutional quarantine.

Those from rest of Maharashtra will be transferred by the collector to their home cities and will not be allowed to take public transport.

Those from other states will be allowed to take connecting flights but the airport authorities will have to inform their home destination airports about their arrival from Dubai.
