'Isolation' not mandatory for foreign arrivals testing Covid positive

Travellers from any country who test positive for coronavirus upon arriving in India will not mandatorily be kept at an isolation facility, the health ministry has said in a revised set of guidelines. 

The existing guidelines state that travellers coming from any country including those considered ‘at-risk' shall be managed at an isolation facility and treated as per laid-down standard protocol.
