3,000 int’l passengers arrive at Delhi airport on Thu; 6 Covid positive

Nearly 3,000 international passengers arrived at the Delhi airport on Thursday, including from the UK, France and Germany, and officials said at least six more people tested positive for COVID-19.

Strict norms, including mandatory COVID test, are in place for passengers coming from ‘at-risk’ countries in the wake of the emergence of the new coronavirus variant Omicron.

With the new norms that also require passengers from ‘at-risk’ countries to stay back at airports till their test results are declared, there have been reports of chaos as people have to wait for long hours.

On Thursday, a Twitter user complained that his wife and toddler had to spent hours despite taking Rapid PCR test at the airport.
