Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International airport has set up a dedicated corridor for the movement of passengers arriving from the United Kingdom, after the government made it mandatory for such travellers to undergo an RT-PCR test for Covid-19 at the airport.
To ensure that the passengers from the United Kingdom are segregated from others on their arrival, their immigration clearance, baggage collection and customs clearance has been expedited and is being completed under supervision. Only five, of the total 470 passengers from the United Kingdom who arrived at Delhi airport since Monday, have so far tested positive and have been sent to hospitals. The rest have been advised seven days home quarantine, officials said.
