Passengers flying in from other European countries (or any in the Middle East) will be sent to 14-day institutional quarantine, and all others will have to undergo a similar period of home quarantine

Mumbai: 

Maharashtra today imposed an 11 PM to 6 AM night curfew till January 5 in Mumbai and other cities, and announced new quarantine rules for arrivals from the Europe and Middle East, in view of a fast-spreading strain of coronavirus that has emerged in the UK and caused several nations, including India, to temporarily ban flights from that country.

Passengers from European or Middle East nations will be sent to 14-day institutional quarantine, and all others must home-isolate for a similar period, the state government said Monday evening.

Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation Commissioner told news agency PTI that around 1,000 people are expected to arrive in five flights landing till midnight December 22, when the centre's ban on incoming flights from the UK takes effect.

Meanwhile, during the period of the night curfew, essential services, like supply of vegetables and milk, will remain unaffected. However, no more than five people can assemble at a given place in this time.

Earlier today, the centre announced a ban on all flights from the UK till December 31.

The ban will start Wednesday and all inbound passengers from the UK before then will be administered RT-PCR tests on arrival. Those who test positive will be sent to institutional quarantine and the rest will be asked to home-isolate for seven days.

Union Health Minister Dr Harsh Vardhan has assured people the government has the situation under control and "there is no need to panic". Dr Vardhan said Monday: "... don't get hassled with imaginary situations... The government is fully alert."

The decision to impose a night curfew marks a U-turn by Chief Minister Thackeray.
