New Delhi: To verify incoming foreign passengers, the country’s first on-site Covid verification facility is planned at the capital’s Indira Gandhi International Airport and will provide RT-PCR verification effects in six hours.
The facility, which will be installed through a laboratory commissioned by the Delhi government for Covid testing, is expected to be operational by mid-September.

The RT-PCR is a popular control method for Covid-19 and will be a game changer for the protection of incoming passengers.We are very proud of this collaboration and some successful implementation,” he added.
