Hyderabad: A total 246 passengers from Hong Kong underwent thermal screening for the coronavirus at the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in Hyderabad on Friday.

Their airline had asked them for a self-declaration form in case they were suffering from cold, cough or flu-like symptoms, or any other disease condition.

The passengers were guided to the thermal screening kiosk first and after that sent to the immigration counter. All travellers passed.

These screenings will be carried out every night that there is a scheduled flight.
