Unlike in the past, when a passenger’s COVID test was done after immigration and customs clearance, all passengers would be evaluated by an airport health officer at the arrival gate under the new rules. Rapid RT-PCR will be used to test travelers from high-risk countries, and RT-PCR will be used to screen 2% of all passengers at random. Passengers from high-risk countries will be allowed to board only after obtaining their test results, which will take around 40 minutes.
