Hardeep Singh Puri contradicts Sarma saying ‘14-day quarantine for passengers of domestic flights’

Assam Government tags a condition for the passengers flying into Assam as the services resuming from May 25. The government made it compulsory for all passengers arriving in Assam to stay in quarantine for 14 days.
Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma, the State Health Minister, on Thursday said that every traveller coming to the State will be quarantined.


"The pilot and crew members and other engineering staff of a flight will not be quarantined. The pilot and crew members will come into an isolated way to the hotel and go back. But excluding the pilot, crew members or any other engineering staff, every traveller in Assam will be quarantined," Himanta Biswa Sarma is quoted as saying.


Union Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Thursday contradicts Sarma saying ‘14-day quarantine for passengers of domestic flights’.
Himmata shares that the state has made 14-day quarantine mandatory for all people who arrive in Assam from outside the state.
"We have launched a programme 'ruthless quarantine with a big human heart' by aiming to curb the spread of the novel Coronavirus (Covid-19) in the state. From now, the state government will spend expenditures of the people coming into the state from outside including food, hotel rent during the quarantine period," Himanta Biswa Sarma was quoted as saying.
"Everyone who is coming from outside must be put under a 14-day quarantine. The state government has allowed the Deputy Commissioners of the districts to spend maximum Rs 500 for food per person per day and Rs 200 for hotel rent under facility quarantine. The Deputy Commissioners will also spend maximum Rs 2,000 against the people under home quarantine," he added.
Himmata further adds that under the Assam Cares scheme the State government will provide the second instalment of Rs 2,000 to 3,6,170 people from Assam who are still stranded outside of the state.
