Covid eases: DGCA removes cap on conducting six breath analyser tests in an hour
SAN FRANCISCO: The Covid-time cap of testing a maximum of six aviation personnel in an hour and the requirement of personnel conducting these tests wearing PPE kits has been dropped with the significant drop in infection rate and a return to almost pre-pandemic air traffic.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Wednesday issued an amended order for breath analyser (BA) tests following a dispensation granted by the Delhi high court on the matter recently.
From October 14 all BA rules in force pre-Covid times shall be implemented with mandatory hygienic precautions put in place during the pandemic.
