The incident comes exactly a month after two asymptomatic engineers from Chennai had come to Kolkata airport and hired a cab to reach their hometown at Midnapore and went straight to a local Covid hospital and sought admission showing <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/Covid-positive-certificates\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" data-ga=\"within_article-topic_link|topic_Covid-positive-certificates\" frmappuse=\"1\">Covid positive certificates<\/a>. <br \/>On Tuesday, the youth came out of the airport with a host of other passengers and after passing the thermal gun check, went straight to a health department official seeking admission at a government quarantine centre. The official said since his temperature was below 99 degrees and he had no other symptoms of Covid-19, he didn\u2019t require quantization, to which the person showed a test report that stated him as Covid positive. <br \/>The youth is now admitted at a quarantine centre and airline officials are contact tracing the passengers seated beside the youth and are making preparations to send the crew members of the involved flights for necessary tests and quarantine procedures. <br \/>\u201cThe incident is alarming. Once the flight movement resumes from next week, we will have to be more alert about such passengers. But as per the current protocol, we are largely dependent on self-declaration of a passenger both on the Arogya Setu app and during web check-in. If a passenger provides false information, there is little we can do,\u201d said an airline official in Kolkata. <br \/>Meanwhile on Thursday, the airport\u2019s administrative building was closed for a day and all the floors were sanitized after it was found that multiple staff, who had either themselves contracted the infection or had come in contact with an infected person had been at the office in the last few days. <\/div>\n<p><a href=\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/city\/kolkata\/coronavirus-patient-comes-to-kolkata-airport-from-delhi-via-guwahati-with-covid-positive-report-in-pocket\/articleshow\/77005562.cms\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KOLKATA: In a repeat of violation exactly a month ago, an asymptomatic novel Coronavirus patient flew down to Kolkata airport from Delhi, via Guwahati, with a Covid &#8220;positive\u201d test report in his pocket on Tuesday.
