passenger screening for arrival from affected area with fever as done earlier
for H1N1, Ebola, Zika, etc
2. The notified Points of Entry for Jammu & Kashmir will include the two airports
and various rail and road highways embark points.
3. Passengers who have started their journey from the affected
areas/countries (* the list will constantly get updated, please check latest
versions from NCDC/IDSP) can arrive directly by air or road at these PoEs and
they will undergo screening process
4. Names of asymptomatic passengers from said origins arriving in Jammu will be
forwarded by Airport Health Officer to SSO IDSP-ADHS DHS jammu and
Nodal Officer GMC Jammu and State Nodal Officer Dr. Shafkat Khan which
will also be shared to the DSO/DSU of the concerned district.
5. These passengers will be escorted in designated ambulances to be kept under
close surveillance under home quarantine by the concerned DSO/PHC
Medical officer for 28 days from the time of departure from the affected
country or from the time of contact with a suspected/confirmed patient.
6. Symptomatic passengers will be identified and either held in transit isolation
at the PoE if available; eg Srinagar airport, or if not, details will be shared
directly to the respective DSO for coordinated shifting in designated
ambulances to the designated/linked isolation/higher care hospital like GMC
Jammu for testing/isolation and clinical management
7. Passengers can arrive indirectly from geographically nearby airports (Jammu,
Leh, New Delhi, etc) by other means of transport like bus, train, taxi, own
vehicle etc. These people will have to be identified promptly at community

This process will usually be facilitated by direct cross border notification from
APHOs/PHOs of other major PoEs in the country to SSO- IDSP Kashmir, J&K
