India’s move to conduct random RT-PCR tests unlikely to disrupt travel plans of holidaymakers
Washington/Beijing, Dec 25 (PTI) India’s move to conduct RT-PCR test on a limited scale on passengers arriving from abroad has raised concerns among travellers but it’s unlikely to have disruptive impact on the travel plans of most holidaymakers, including from the diaspora, the community members said on Sunday.
The Indian government on Saturday ramped up anti-Covid measures in the wake of a surge in the number of cases in some countries including neighbouring China and made the RT-PCR test mandatory for passengers arriving from China, Japan, South Korea, Singapore and Thailand.
With the reduction in cases and more widespread vaccination, India had discontinued mandatory RT-PCR tests for international passengers by November.
