After 250 passengers on two flights from Italy tested positive for COVID-19 on arrival at Amritsar last week, the pathology laboratory providing services at the airport is under scanner.
SpiceHealth, a healthcare company launched by the promoters of SpiceJet, has been barred by the Amritsar airport from conducting tests “for a few days” and another agency has been contracted to provide these services.
“It was decided on Friday evening that their machines will not be utilised after they reported inconsistencies in 75 test reports. SpiceHealth will carry out technical investigations and share their reports with us after which we will decide the future course of action,” V.K. Seth, Airport Director of Guru Ram Nath Jee International airport told The Hindu.
