"During the surveillance of some airports, it has come to notice that compliance is not satisfactory. All airport operators are requested to ensure that the instructions on COVID-19 protocol from the standpoint of wearing face-masks properly, covering nose and mouth, as well as maintaining social distancing within the airport premises are followed scrupulously."
