India's move to conduct random RT-PCR tests unlikely to disrupt travel plans of holiday makers

The Indian government on Saturday ramped up anti-COVID measures in the wake of a surge in the number of cases in some countries including neighbouring China and made the RT-PCR test mandatory for passengers arriving from China, Japan, South Korea, Singapore and Thailand. With the reduction in cases and more widespread vaccination, India had discontinued mandatory RT-PCR tests for international passengers by November.
