Bhubaneswar: Amid a spike in COVID cases and the threat of a third wave, the Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Thursday said that all air travellers deboarding at Bhubaneswar except those in transit will have to undergo RT-PCR tests from January 7.
This is applicable for all those who have been fully vaccinated and also in possession of an RT-PCR negative certificate.
They will also have to isolate themselves at home till the results are communicated to them by BMC. “The usual protocol for positive cases will be following if they are found infected,” the notification said.
The director of Biju Patnaik International Airport will facilitate the setting up of the testing facility, it added.
