BHUBANESWAR: The Odisha government has urged the Centre to give it access to the ‘Air Suvidha’ portal so that officials engaged in Covid management can get information on international travellers who have returned or are returning to the State. ‘Air Suvidha’ is an online system for international passengers where they need to submit a mandatory self-declaration form to declare their current health status.
At a meeting via video conferencing with Union Health Secretary Rajesh Bhushan on Tuesday, the State’s health officials requested access to the portal along with filtration facility for easy screening of home-bound foreign returnees.
