New Delhi: Two Vistara airline pilots have tested positive for COVID-19 after undergoing flight simulator training.

“Two of our pilots, on returning to duty, unfortunately tested positive for COVID-19 after undergoing some flight simulator training. As part of our contact-tracing efforts, we immediately placed all the direct and secondary contacts in home quarantine,” a Vistara spokesperson was quoted as saying by PTI.

“Pilots who were in direct contact with these two pilots were sent for RT-PCR COVID-19 test. So far, the results of some of the pilots have been found negative while others are pending,” the spokesperson informed.
