After mid-day exposed corrupt practices by civic workers dealing with international travellers arriving in the city from high-risk zones, the BMC on Tuesday revamped its rules for the mandatory seven-day institutional quarantine of such travellers. The civic body says passengers will now be identified ward-wise. It has also tied the loose ends over the transfer of passengers to hotels. Officials will now visit the hotels twice to check if any traveller is missing from there, said the corporation.
