Close to a week after new guidelines came into effect at the Delhi airport against the backdrop of a new Covid variant, international passengers continued to complain of chaos, crowding, and long wait times to get tested. Several passengers who arrived early on Monday also called the airport a potential ‘Covid hotspot’ and claimed there are no provisions for food, water or charging points.
While the central government and airport officials have ramped up services and deployment to deal with rising Omicron cases, incoming passengers, especially those from ‘at-risk’ countries, said they are forced to wait at least three-six hours.
