Mumbai's International Travel Guidelines

Passengers will be declared as high risk if (i) they are coming from high risk countries like South Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe. (ii) Air travelers who have visited any of these high risk countries in the last 15 days prior to their arrival in Maharashtra.

High risk air passengers may be disembarked on priority basis and separate counters will be arranged by the concerned Airport Management Authority at all international airports in the state of Maharashtra for their screening and verification.

All such high-risk passengers will have to undergo RTPCR test immediately on arrival at the concerned international airport and undergo mandatory 7-day 'institutional quarantine' with second RT-PCR test on day 7. If any of the tests are found positive, the passenger will be shifted to the hospital.
