It is worth noting here that, India had last month done away with the requirement of filling the Air Suvidha form, which asked questions about recent travel, vaccinations, current health and other topics.

The Union Health Ministry said that the next 40 days will be crucial as India may see a spike in Covid cases in mid-January. This assessment was done after analyzing the past trends of Covid surge in the country.

The operational readiness of health facilities is being assessed in all states and union territories as part of preparations for another wave amid a surge in Covid cases in some countries.
