Only 2% of passengers will be screened. If they leave one country and travel through other countries without coming directly, they will be given priority and samples will be taken. The sample of this person was taken at the chennai airport on the 10th. He came from a safe country so there was no need to stay at the airport until the results came. So as soon as the sample was taken he went to his home in Chennai. The results came in three hours. When he was diagnosed with corona positive, he was taken back from his home and admitted to Guindy king Hospital.
