CHENNAI: It is not just humans who would have to show a Covid-19 negative certificate when entering India via flights.
The ministry of finance instructed customs authorities across India to allow import of animals such as cats, lions, leopards and pumas only after they are tested for Covid-19 at the exporting country, when they are to be imported.
The directions were issued on June 30 and are to be followed as long as India is still battling the viral infection, the directive said. “In this regard, the concerned regional officers/quarantine officers, animal quarantine and certification services (AQCS) will issue advance NOC/Final AQCS clearance for import of aforesaid animals into India after receiving negative Covid-19 test report (no more than three days old before export),” the directive said.
IN her office deep inside the College of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences at Glasgow University – past the specimen cases, a musty-smelling library and the raft of tightly packed shelves filled with antiquated tomes – Professor Sarah Cleaveland hands me a wine glass.

I hasten to add that my tipple is merely water but Cleaveland, a veterinary surgeon and Professor of Comparative Epidemiology, certainly has good reason to celebrate: she was recently elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in recognition of her globally-renowned work on infectious diseases.
