CHENNAI: People flying to the UAE from Chennai airport are facing a hassle as the pre-departure rapid RT-PCR test is turning positive even when the mandatory regular RT-PCR taken 72 hours before departure is negative.
As repeat tests are often not done, people are forced to cancel the trip. A passenger had to cancel his trip thrice after a rapid test turned positive at the airport. The regular RT-PCR test he took in private labs soon after reaching home from the airport was negative.
