11 passengers of 4 UK flights tested positive for Covid-19 at Delhi airport

Eleven passengers on four flights from the UK were found positive for COVID-19 when tested on arrival at the Delhi airport, said Gauri Agarwal, founder of the Genestrings Diagnostic Center, on Wednesday.

Genestrings is handling coronavirus testing of all passengers at the Delhi airport.

In her statement, Agarwal said 50 passengers of the aforementioned four flights have been put under institutional quarantine.

As a new coronavirus strain has emerged in the UK, the government on Monday ordered that all passengers coming from there would be tested on arrival at the Indian airports.

Since this directive, a total of four UK flights have landed in Delhi, Agarwal said.
