Passengers arriving from Delhi, Rajasthan, Gujarat and Goa were tested for coronavirus at the Mumbai Central railway station in the early hours of Wednesday, in compliance with the new SOPs issued by the state government. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Tuesday directed its ward officials to deploy staff at railway stations in the metropolis to check COVID-19 negative certificates of passengers arriving from these four states. The civic body also asked its ward officers to conduct rapid antigen tests on symptomatic passengers at the railway stations and to coordinate with private laboratories for collection of samples for antigen testing. "If the antigen test is negative, the passenger will be allowed to go home. If it is positive, then the protocol for positive cases will be followed," a BMC circular stated.
