With the gradual unlocking and easing of the Covid-19 situation in Pune, the city civic body has decided to stop stamping ‘home quarantine’ on the wrists of domestic passengers, as per the guidelines of the Union government.
The PMC had set up a dedicated desk at the Pune airport to screen every passenger landing at the airport and put the ‘home quarantine’ stamp on their wrists. “Since air travel began on May 23, the PMC has screened 2.25 lakh passengers, 20 per cent of them international passengers,” said Ashok Ghorpade, PMC garden superintendent who is in charge of the Covid-19 desk at the Pune airport.
