    Hi could someone please clarify:


    Should the swab test be performed within 72 hours from departure? Or should the covid test be issued within 72hrs from departure? (As this would make a difference in when one would have to get tested - as results can take between 24-48 hrs to be made available)

    I believe on the Bangalore airport it is the latter...

    Thank you
