Covid-19: 30 people on Air India flight to Rome test positive

At Least 30 people traveling on an Air India flight from Amritsar to Rome last Wednesday have been tested positive for coronavirus infection on arrival, while all passengers on board the flight have been quarantined off for two weeks, a person with direct knowledge of the matter said.

“There are a couple of crew members who were among the 30 odd people who tested positive for the virus on arrival at Rome,” the person said requesting anonymity.

An Air India spokesperson was not immediately available for comments.

The Italian government has since then barred foreign travellers who have been in India in the past 14 days from entering the country.
