AHMEDABAD: Parita Amin, an Ahmedabad-based student, who after a lot of efforts, finally managed to get a plane ticket to pursue higher studies in Canada finds her worries are not over yet. For the Serbian government has issued new Covid-19 guidelines according to which all foreign citizens arriving in Serbia from countries of special risk like India will receive mandatory quarantine measures for 7 days in home self-isolation.
Amin, an engineering graduate, who has enrolled for a masters’ degree in web designing at a university in Toronto, had earlier booked a direct flight for Canada on April 25 but the flight got cancelled on April 23 amid the second wave of Covid-19. She decided to take a longer de-tour even if it meant spending extra bucks to get there. As a result, she got a ticket to Canada by travelling from Ahmedabad via Mumbai, Frankfurt and Serbia before reaching her destination.
