Milan: There was a stir in Italy when half the passengers on two flights from China were found to be corona infected. Corona test has been made mandatory for flights coming from China to Italy. This decision has been taken after more than 50% of passengers were found to be Corona positive during the investigation in 2 flights from Beijing to Milan in China.
In view of the increasing cases of Corona in China, many countries are taking decisions. The United States has also made the corona test mandatory for Chinese travelers. It has become the 5th country in the world to do so. For some time, there has been an outcry in China due to Corona. Seeing the seriousness of the matter, many big countries are taking decisions.
Guido Bertolasso, Lombardy’s regional consul, told the media, “Out of 92 passengers on the first flight from China to Milan, 35 have tested positive for COVID-19.” On the other hand, out of 120 passengers on the second flight, 62 have been found corona infected. Earlier, Japan and India started RT-PCR tests at the airport itself for passengers coming from China.
The US says new steps are being taken together with India, Italy, Japan, and Taiwan after China’s decision to remove zero-covid policies. At present, corona test of passengers coming from China has been made mandatory. There is no direct flight from China to India, yet this step has been taken as a precautionary measure.
