STAFF REPORTER GUWAHATI:

COVID-19 Tests in Assam Airports: COVID-19 screening and testing will continue in all airports of the State, stated an order issued by the Principal Secretary of Health & Family Welfare Department Samir Kumar Sinha on Friday.

The Health department had earlier issued an order discontinuing mandatory COVID-19 testing at airports, railway stations and land routes from March 1, 2021. But the Friday's fresh order has been issued in view of gradual increase in the incidence of COVID-positive cases in a few other States.
