The tests will be conducted on passengers arriving at the airport by the District Disaster Management Authorities (DDMA).
The passengers who test positive will be quarantined at their place of stay or at hospitals according to established protocols.
Quoting a source familiar with the matter, the Indian Express reported that nearly 1,000 random tests are being conducted daily, of which 2% test positive.
Currently, civil defence volunteers and lab technicians are deployed on both terminals for the testing programme.
