Covid: Over 40 of 150 Australians on repatriation flight from India test positive, can’t travel

Out of 150 Australian citizens who were supposed to fly back home on the first repatriation flight out of India, over 40 have tested positive for Covid-19 and therefore been removed from the passenger list, reported The Guardian.

The number of passengers who may be prohibited from travelling back to Australia potentially increases to over 70 if the close contacts of those who tested Covid-19 positive was considered.
