The Indian government on Friday issued Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for passengers who will be arriving from the UK after partial resumption of flights from 8 January, 2021 amid concerns of new Covid-19 strain, which was first identified in Britain,. These SOPs shall be valid till 30 January or till further orders, whichever is earlier, the Health Ministry said today.
The guidelines came moments after Union Minister of Civil Aviation Hardeep Singh Puri today said, “Operations till 23 January will be restricted to 15 flights per week each for carriers of two countries to and from Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Hyderabad only.”
