“COVID19 test for incoming flight passengers will be done in Guwahati Airport itself instead of Xarusajai,” announced Assam health and finance minister Himanta Biswa Sarma through a social media post on Wednesday, November 18.


He further informed that air passengers travelling within Assam and those travelling between northeast states will no longer require mandatory COVID-19 testing. 


Under the current guidelines of the Assam government, all air passengers coming to Guwahati are being taken to the Sarusajai Stadium via a bus for a mandatory COVID-19 test. However, the latest announcement gives relaxation from the same.
