    Yes, they can return back

    The UAE will also test Indian and other expats for Covid-19 and not allow suspect cases to travel home, the UAE's Ambassador to India, has said, putting to rest concerns about UAE expats spreading the infection in their home countries.

    "We will do the Covid-19 tests before anyone boards the flight and leaves UAE. If they test positive, they will stay in the UAE until they get well. They will be flown back only after their tests come negative,"

    Priority should be given to Blue color laborers who are out of jobs and savings, followed by cancelled visas due to Job loss and visitors stuck due to lock down. Residents who miss home and want to go on holidays or vacation , please do not burden the process at this stage.
    Concerned states, Districts should be responsible for quarantine their respected people.
    How will Kerala will manage quarantine of more than 3 lakh people who have wished to go back ? will they go back to SC to open the border ?

    same like NRIs, Kerala Govt has no plan B..all these years they enjoyed free foreign exchange..companies /Industries not allowed to grow or struggled to survive due to union politics, Bandh, hartaal..always in confrontation mode with central govt..while a minor Labour law change in Middle east impact Kerala in big way, but this is bigger blow.. Govt cant live in denial..
