Strict Sreening & Testing of International Passengers Starts at Mangalore Airport
Mangalore International Airport has started strict screening and testing of international passengers in the light of the increasing incidences of the Omicron variants of the Covid19 virus. The airport has made arrangements 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. Passengers from the high risk countries will be allowed to leave only after obtaining test results, which takes about 40 minutes. The entire process is now being completed in the pre-immigration area at the international arrival hall.
A dedicated registration desk, help desk and foreign exchange services along with a refreshment counter have been set up for passengers in the international arrival area. A holding area has also been created for passengers arriving from at-risk countries. A special isolation room too has been set up in the arrival area to hold passengers testing positive for coronavirus. .
