The returnees were given a spare mask to wear all the time and a sanitiser to wash their hands.
"The luggage of all passengers was screened and disinfected before handing over to them after they completed formalities such as filling the self-declaration form and downloading of the Quarantine App for contact tracing later,” said the official.
The passengers were ferried from the airport in state-run buses in batches for 14-day institutional quarantine in hotels and resorts across the city.

Heya! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any
trouble with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was
hacked and I ended up losing a few months of hard work due
to no back up. Do you have any methods to stop hackers?
Stop by my blog post: Waist Trainers - Declan: http://mosaic.ieat.ro/trac/ticket/39709 -
I've been browsing on-line greater than 3 hours lately, but I
by no means discovered any attention-grabbing article like yours.
It is pretty value enough for me. Personally, if all website owners and bloggers made good
content material as you did, the internet will probably be a lot more helpful than ever before.
