During the screening of the passengers in the arrival zone of the airport, one passenger reportedly displayed COVID-19 symptoms as the temperature readings were being taken.
The individual was immediately separated from the rest of the passengers and was rushed in an ambulance to the Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Chest Diseases hospital for further tests.
According to The New Indian Express, sources said that the individual had a high fever, therefore prompting quick action.
