In a latest development for international arrivals, major Indian airports which are basically ports of entry for VBM and air bubble flights<\/a> from abroad have got COVID19 testing facilities.<\/strong> Indians, foreign citizens of Indian origin, and foreign nationals (having a valid visa to India) can now take COVID tests on arrival at entry airports before traveling to the final destination. This is another way for them to get exempted from institutional quarantine at the final destination.<\/p>\n New Delhi International Airport\u2019s COVID-19 testing facility has been operational since September 11, 2020. Located in Terminal 3 of Delhi IGI Airport<\/a><\/strong>, the 3500-sq-ft COVID test center can test as many as 2500 individuals a day and deliver test results in 4-6 hours. The COVID testing facility integrates a lounge where inbound travelers can unwind while waiting for the results. It costs an individual Rs. 5000 including Rs 2400 for test and Rs 2600 for the lounge. People arriving at Delhi airport, having a separate ticket for their onward domestic flights and not carrying a negative COVID test report from the port of origin, can get tested at the airport. If the result is negative, they can get away with the 7-day institutional quarantine in Delhi and travel onward.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Inbound travelers opting for onsite COVID tests at Delhi Airport need to book slots on the airport website at least one hour prior to their arrival.<\/strong> They need to provide certain details such as their names, contact details and a valid ID proof while booking slots online. An individual traveling with family or in a group can book a single slot for the testing of all. The pre-booked slot can be modified in view of delay in arrival.<\/p>\n
