MUMBAI: BMC officials will check on international passengers on their hotels twice a week when they are in institutional quarantine to ensure that they don’t escape from or break their quarantine.
The BMC on Tuesday revised the Standard Operating Protocol (SOP) for handling international passengers arriving from the UK, Brazil, Europe, South Africa and Middle East into Mumbai. According to BMC rules, passengers arriving from these countries are quarantined in hotels for seven days and then allowed to leave only after they test negative for Covid-19.
However in the recent days, there have been several instances where such passengers go missing from hotels where they are housed for institutional quarantine. So the BMC has revised guidelines for institutional quarantine making it mandatory for its officials to visit the hotels twice during the stay of a particular passenger followed by also maintaining a weekly report of such visits.
