NEW DELHI: Five passengers and crew members from London who landed in Delhi on Monday night tested positive for Covid-19 at Indira Gandhi International Airport. Their Air India flight was one of the four flights scheduled to land in Delhi before the restrictions on flights from the UK are put in place from Tuesday midnight.

The passengers who came on the second of the two scheduled flights, a British Airways service, were also tested but none proved positive. There were 470 passengers in the two flights, an official confirmed.

“All those who tested positive have been shifted to Vallabhbhai Patel Quarantine Facility and will be kept there till they test negative,” disclosed an airport official
