to mark holiday overshadowed by coronavirus. domestic flights have resumed in india as the government eases some restrictions after a 2 month lockdown officials there have just announced another record jump in new cases in the past 24 hours 6977 with more cases being reported some states are pushing to limit the number of flights restarting its bring in elizabeth for random in new delhi so elizabeth it sounds contradictory why are they allowing flights resume if indeed the case is a spiking. that's because the civil aviation minister said that coronavirus is going to be around for

a very long time and that india can't be under lockdown and definitely and that life has to go on and that and there is consensus around that the prime minister has said similar things so from monday domestic flights resumed possibly resume there is something like $600.00 flights and airlines are planning to. do about a 3rd run about a 3rd of all of their flights but there was so much confusion before the resumption of flights because we weren't sure which states would accept flights and what their rules would be what their quarantine rules would be upon arrival and we are already seeing results off that confusion $82.00 flights in and out of delhi have been cancelled without notice stranding passengers and that is because and number of states decided very late on sunday night that they would only accept a certain number of flights the state of west bengal said that they are not ready

check in counters and 14 gates are going to close a lot earlier than they used to that there are markings all over airports to ensure social distancing everyone is thermal screened before and after getting on the flights in that they have to wear face masks throughout and then there's all ringback the rules for arrivals the central government has said that people will only be taken for testing if they show symptoms and that they'll only have to go into quarantine facilities depending on the severity of this symptoms but all the states have such different rules you know everything from going with the centers guidelines to a mix of institutional quarantine and and home isolation and we also have the government say that it's mandatory for all passages to have the context tracing at the government's contact tracing app on their phones and that is raising a lot of concerns from privacy experts who say that the indian government just doesn't have the privacy laws to make sure that people's information and data is
