What are the guidelines to be followed for passengers at Coimbatore Airport? Here’s all you need to know!
Coimbatore: The number of flights operating at Coimbatore International Airport has dropped significantly due to the second wave of coronavirus pandemic. It used to operate more than 30 flights a day, but has now dropped to 5 a day.
The government has implemented various relaxations in the lockdown imposed in the wake of the declining spread of coronavirus infection. As a result, few of the suspended airlines have resumed flights. Thus the number of flights operated at Coimbatore Airport is expected to gradually increase in the coming weeks.
Commenting on the guidelines to be followed by passengers using Coimbatore Airport in today's scenario, Airport sources said, "All passengers arriving and departing at Coimbatore Airport by domestic and foreign flights should have a negative 'RT PCR' test taken within 24 hours prior to departure. After landing in Coimbatore, each passenger will undergo a body temperature test at the airport and will be sent for immediate treatment with the help of health officials.
An 'RT PCR' test will be performed at the airport for those with mild symptoms. All passenger details are constantly collected and monitored. Strict procedures such as forced isolation and isolation for a few days in hostels carried out during the first wave of the last outbreak are not currently being followed. However, health officials have been monitoring travelers from overseas by obtaining their details and advising them to isolate themselves at home."
The requirement to register online (E Registration) to travel from Coimbatore to various districts of Tamil Nadu has been relaxed from today. Tourists are not allowed to visit hill station areas including Nilgiris, Valparai and Kodaikanal. However it is necessary to get an 'e-pass' to go to travelers who live or are native to those areas.
