New Delhi: Following allegations of incorrect COVID test reports, a probe has been initiated against a private laboratory.
According to reports, a number of flyers who reached Amritsar from Italy recently had tested positive for Covid-19. However, several of them alleged that test reports were incorrect as they had tested negative hours before boarding the flight. Following this, a probe has been initiated.
Many among them had even created ruckus at the international airport here.
On the other hand, the Airports Authority of India has also replaced the services of the Delhi-based laboratory with a local lab, officials said.
Some of the passengers who had arrived here at Shri Guru Ramdas International Airport had subsequently tested negative in a re-test later, officials said.
On Thursday, 125 passengers who were travelling from Milan to Italy on another charter flight were found positive after being tested on arrival at the Amritsar airport.
