India - inbound traveler screening to prevent spread of COVID-19 2020

Based on the results of a survey, a majority of Indian respondents felt that the government should effectively follow up on incoming travelers from China, Hong Kong and Singapore for novel coronavirus COVID-19 symptoms after their initial airport screening. About 53 percent felt that this was not happening and the government had to step in to ensure that the travelers have not developed new symptoms. As of February 2020, India had three confirmed cases of people infected with COVID-19.
