India will drop the pre-departure Covid test requirement for travellers coming from or via China, Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea, Thailand and Japan from Monday, the health ministry said.

The move comes as Covid infections have fallen sharply globally.

The random testing of 2% of all travellers landing in India will continue, the health ministry wrote in the letter dated Feb. 9 to the civil aviation ministry.
