Mangaluru International Airport has streamlined the process of screening international passengers, including those arriving from at-risk countries, pursuant to a directive from the Ministry of Civil Aviation on Tuesday. The entire process is now being completed in the pre-immigration area at the international arrival hall.
Hitherto, international passengers, including those arriving from or having transited through at-risk countries, were undergoing rapid RT-PCR tests at the arrival hall of the airport after clearing immigration and customs.
The airport has now organised to collect swabs of passengers from at-risk countries and 2% of the passengers arriving from other non-at-risk countries selected by the airline concerned, the authorities concerned said in a release.
