With the outbreak of Omicron in November 2021, the Centre came up with a list of countries identifying them as 'at-risk'. The list was updated periodically reviewing the pandemic situation of those countries. Passengers from these countries were supposed to give their samples after arrival and wait until the result to step out of the airport. With the list now being done away with, there will be no need for this testing as well. Random sampling of 2% of international travellers from all countries will go on. But travellers won't have to wait for the result; they will be allowed to leave the airport.
