Air India said that all the passengers boarded the flight from Delhi for Wuhan and had negative Covid-19 reports from certified laboratories. The flight released statement on Monday “Air India strictly adheres to all the safety protocol laid down by the regulatory bodies and conforms to requirements at destination airports.”
According to the Covid-19 protocols in China, all the positive cases will be admitted to hospitals and would be discharged only post negative test for the coronavirus. All the incoming people in China have to undergo a mandatory 14 day quarantine period in hotels designated for the same.
China has recently lifted the travel ban on resident permit visa holders. This has led to increased booking and demand for VBM flights from India to China. In India approximately 2000 Indians who are employed in China or have travel in relation to businesses want to take service of VBM flights. The regular flights operations remain suspended due to Covid-19.
