New Delhi: Passengers arriving from the United Kingdom (UK) are having to wait more than 8 hours to get their COVID-19 test report at the Delhi airport.
According to the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) issued by the Centre on Tuesday, passengers from the UK will only be permitted to exit the airport when the entire passenger’s COVID report is out, ZeeNews reported.
“The delay is due to the procedural system for UK passengers,” an airport official told ANI.
Around 500 passengers from the UK who landed at the Delhi airport last night are stuck in the chaos at the airport.
Passengers are alleging that they are waiting for the last eight hours to get their test report.”We are at the airport since last night and now it`s over eight hours we here at the airport waiting for permission to go outside the airport, social distancing is clearly being violated at the airport,” a woman passenger told ANI.
