As per the notification, states and union territories (UT) have been asked to designate nodal authorities and develop protocols for sending and receiving such stranded individuals. The states and UTs have thus been asked to mutually agree upon the transfer of the stranded individuals.

Those wishing to travel will first be screened and only be allowed to board sanitised buses after being found asymptomatic. The individuals will again be screened after reaching their destination and will be asked to home quarantine.
