The Hindu
Results will be provided in 13 minutes
Chennai airport will get a rapid RT-PCR test facility, which will provide results to passengers in 13 minutes, by next week. Officials of the Airports Authority of India (AAI) said they had been in talks with the State government for a few weeks now to get approval and start this facility at the earliest because those heading to Middle Eastern countries must have a test report. “We recently got the nod from the State government to set this up. We have spoken to the company which is in the process of gathering resources and equipment to start the facility. There are a few logistic issues, and it will be ironed out by the end of this week. We will begin by next week,” an official said.
