China, and other countries, must take steps to thoroughly screen arrivals from India, even those via third counries, for possible Covid cases.  There are many reported imported cases among Indian arrivals in several countries. 

Hong Kong has banned flights from India, so have a number of other countries; hope Mainland China does the same, to avoid  another wave of infection!

On Tue (27 Apr), Western Australia Premier Mark McGowan angrily hit out at the accuracy of COVID-19 testing in India.

A flight which flew from KL to Perth last Sat (24 Apr) showed that 78 of the 79 passengers onboard had recently been in India. So far, 4 COVID-19 cases have been found during hotel quarantine by Tue.

“I have just been advised at this morning’s emergency management team meeting that 78 of the 79 passengers on this flight had been in India recently,” McGowan said.

“Our expectation is the number of positive cases from this group of people will grow and potentially grow significantly.”

He said the accuracy of India’s Covid-19 testing methods could not be trusted.

“We obviously have a problem with India,” he said.

“Some of the tests conducted in India either aren’t accurate or aren’t believable and clearly that’s causing some issues here.”
