The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Tuesday has released guidelines for all international passengers arriving at the Mumbai International Airport.
As per the guidelines, every international arrival will be told to undergo a Rapid RT-PCR test. If the result is negative, the passenger will be allowed to go home and self-quarantine and monitor for seven days.
If passenger tests positive in the Rapid RT-PCR test, then he must take an RT-PCR test. If the passenger tests positive and shows COVID-19 symptoms, then he will be taken to the Seven Hills, Breach Candy or Bombay hospitals.
If the passenger tests positive but is asymptomatic, he will be taken to the Bandra-Kurla Complex or Kanur Jumbo Centre, a private hospital, or an empanelled hotel, the guidelines stated. All expenses incurred at the hotel will be borne by the patient, the BMC said.
