According to CNN News at least 10 passengers escaped from an airport in the northern Indian state of Amritsar after testing positive for coronavirus Thursday, according to senior district official Ruhee Dugg.
The passengers arrived in India aboard a chartered flight from Italy, with 125 travelers from the flight testing positive on arrival.
The flight was scheduled to land at 11:20 am from Rome. On arrival, according to Indian procedure, 160 of the passengers on the plane were tested, while 19 were exempted since they were under five years old, said Amritsar Airport Director V.K. Seth.
The passengers were in transit to a local hospital when a few of them separated from the main group and were able to evade authorities.
“They were supposed to go to the hospital but they went home … The police are now working on tracking these people down and will take the required action,” said Dugg.
