New Delhi: The government said on Thursday that starting on December 24, a specific percentage of travellers arriving on international flights will be subject to a random coronavirus test.
Due to an increase in coronavirus cases in various nations, the Union health minister wrote to the civil aviation ministry regarding this issue.
"A sub-section of 2 per cent of the total passengers in the flight shall undergo random post-arrival testing at the airport on arrival," an official communication said.
Such travellers in each flight shall be determined by the airlines concerned and preferably from different countries, it added.
