Some 190 passengers from Italy tested positive for Covid-19 at Amritsar’s Shri Guru Ram Das Jee International Airport on Friday, authorities said.

The development comes a day after 125 passengers on a flight between Italy and Amritsar tested positive at the airport. Those passengers were sent home for quarantine after they refused to go to government Covid care isolation centre.

The development comes as India sees a worrying swell in its Covid numbers, prompting several states, including Punjab, to reimpose restrictions.
