India makes PCR tests mandatory for incoming travelers from 'at risk' nations

India has made it mandatory for international travelers from nearly fifty countries to undergo PCR tests upon arrival.

Previously they could instead choose a rapid antigen test that took only a couple of hours to produce results - as opposed to a PCR test, which can take up to 48 hours.

Authorities hope the new rules will help curb the spread of the Omicron variant, as Ishan Garg reports.
