“Sixteen out of 78 evacuees who reached India on Tuesday tested positive for Covid-19. The infected evacuees also include the three Sikhs who brought back with them Guru Granth Sahib from several Afghanistan Gurudwaras. Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri who was at the Delhi airport to receive Sikhs also came in contact of the infected people. All of them were asymptotic patients. India has been running special flights on a daily basis to evacuate its nationals from war-ravaged Afghanistan. The mandatory quarantine was initiated as per a guideline issued by the Health Ministry on August 23. This guideline makes it mandatory for those arriving in India from Afghanistan to remain in institutional quarantine for at least 14 days from the day of arrival at the Chhawla camp in Najafgarh.
