Passengers have to wait at RGI Airport in Hyderabad till they receive reports
From Tuesday night, all passengers coming from the 12 at-risk countries to Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA), Shamshabad, have to undergo RT-PCR tests. Further, they have to wait at the airport till they receive the results.
A private laboratory is conducting the tests at the airport — located on the outskirts of Hyderabad. The time to receive the results depends on the money spent for the tests. Lesser the waiting time to receive the results, more is the cost.
“Those who test positive will be isolated at Telangana Institute of Medical Sciences (TIMS), Gachibowli, which is declared as government institutional isolation centre. Two floors have been identified for the purpose. They will be taken directly from the airport to the hospital in a separate ambulance,” said Telangana’s Director of Public Health G. Srinivasa Rao while addressing a press conference here on Tuesday.
