MUMBAI: Over 2.2 lakh passengers underwent RT-PCR tests at Mumbai airport in six months, out of which 1,480 tested positive, Mumbai International Airport Ltd (MIAL) said on Friday.
In February, around 81,000 passengers registered for the test, compared to 1,700 in September last year, when the facility was launched at the airport.
Demand for the tests went up with recent central and state government restrictions. All international passengers arriving in or transiting through Mumbai have to undergo the test. Passengers from Brazil, South Africa and UK must wait at the airport for their test results before they can board their onward domestic flight to their final destination. Passengers from Europe and Middle East can proceed with their journey after submission of their sample, said MIAL.
