7-day institutional quarantine mandatory in Andhra Pradesh for flyers from 6 states

As per the order by the Chief Secretary Nilam Sawhney, all the flyers who wish to come to the State have to enrol in Spandana website (spandana.ap.gov.in) and obtain a clearance before buying tickets. Airlines are asked to permit booking only if the passengers have clearance from the State via Spandana portal.

Persons coming from high incidence places like Chennai, Mumbai, New Delhi, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh will have to undergo mandatory institutional quarantine for seven days. They will then be tested and sent for home quarantine if the test shows negative for COVID-19.

All the flyers would be screened at the airports for symptoms and symptomatic persons would have to undergo institutional quarantine where they would be tested on arrival once and again after seven days, the order says.

If tested negative for the second test they would be allowed for home quarantine for seven days. Asymptomatic passengers would be considered in two categories based on the place they board the flight to A.P.
