In the recent update, Kerala has given relief to returnees from mandatory institutional quarantine.
Around 12 lakh passengers travelled since the restart of domestic air services.
The national capital, which has crossed the 42000 mark, has now shortened the home quarantine period to 7 days.

Indian states have announced varied quarantine and self-isolation rules for air passengers travelling from different states to combat coronavirus. And even after three weeks of domestic passenger services resumption, they are still revising it every now and then.

Several states decided to put passengers in quarantine only if they show symptoms—in line with Union government guidelines—while several others decided to mandate 7days institutional quarantine for International passengers, just like Punjab.

In the recent update, Kerala has given relief to returnees from mandatory institutional quarantine. In contrast, the national capital, which has crossed the 42000 mark, has now shortened the home quarantine period to 7 days.

Around 12 lakh passengers travelled since the restart of domestic air services in India, according to the official data.
