All international passengers travelling from China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Singapore and Thailand to India will have to undergo mandatory RT-PCR tests before departure and upload a report on the Air Suvidha portal from January 1, 2023, said Union Health Ministry sources on Thursday.

 

This is in addition to the random 2 per cent tests of all international passengers on their arrival in India irrespective of the port of departure, stated the Union Health Ministry.

It said that the test should have been conducted within 72 hours of undertaking the journey to India.

 

This is being done in view of the evolving COVID-19 situation worldwide, particularly in the aforesaid countries.

 

Earlier on Wednesday, according to sources in the Union Health Ministry, the next 40 days will be crucial as India may see a surge in Covid cases in mid-January.

 

The sources further added that the assessment was made after analysing the previous trends of the Covid surge in the country.

 

Amid the explosion in Covid cases in some countries, the operational readiness of healthcare facilities is under review in all states and Union Territories in anticipation of another wave.

 

Two passengers from Dubai tested positive for Covid at the Chennai airport on Wednesday.

 

“Two passengers, who arrived from Dubai, tested positive at the Chennai airport today. Both hail from the Alangudi district of Tamil Nadu’s Pudukkottai. Their test samples have been sent to the State Public Health Laboratory,” read a statement issued by the Tamil Nadu Health department on Wednesday.

 

At least 39 international fliers tested positive for Covid between December 24 and 26. Taking due cognisance of the global surge in cases, including in China, the Centre had directed random testing of international passengers.

 

“Passengers of as many as 498 international flights were screened in the last three days — December 24, 25 and 26. A total of 1,780 swab samples were collected for Covid tests. The cumulative number of samples collected (from international fliers), so far, is 3,994.

 

The cumulative number of samples testing positive for Covid is 39 and of samples sent for whole genome sequencing is 39,” a source told ANI on Tuesday.
