According to the airport rules, all foreign passengers will be tested for COVID-19 and will have to undergo requisite home quarantine.

Travellers who have been tested negative on arrival at Bengaluru airport will go under quarantine for seven days and will be tested again after seven days.

Furthermore, 2 per cent of the travellers from countries that do not come under the 'at-risk' category will undergo random testing at the airport on arrival. Bengaluru International Airport will bear the cost of random testing of such passengers.

Karnataka registered six more Omicron cases on Saturday, of which five have been detected from COVID-19 clusters that have surfaced from two educational institutions in the Dakshina Kannada district. With this, the state's case tally has risen to 14.
