Sample this: 120 Rapid PCR machines at IGI, results in 60 mins; 450 RT-PCR tests per hour

NEW DELHI: After facing criticism, including from the civil aviation ministry, Indira Gandhi International Airport added 20 more Rapid RT-PCR machines on Sunday to the 100 already operating there.
This is meant to ease the chaos at the Covid-19 testing counters and to reduce waiting time for people arriving from countries exposed to the Omicron variant of the coronavirus and for whom testing is mandatory.
“The number of passengers pre-booking the Covid tests on arrival has been going up every day. In addition to this, more and more passengers are opting for Rapid PCR test over the regular RT-PCR tests,” said Videh Kumar Jaipuriar, CEO, Delhi International Airport Limited.
“Keeping this in mind, we have installed 120 Rapid PCR test machines and provided 20 dedicated counters for passengers who have pre-booked their tests.”
