emed Binax testing and entry into Chennai airport
Do the officials in Chennai airport allow you to enter the airport & board a flight to the US with a negative e-med Binax test (that was proctored via video)? Or do they insist on an RT-PCR test which seems to be the standard in India? Alternatively does Chennai airport have a 24x7 RT-PCR rapid testing facility at the airport premises?

I would just stick to the RT-PCR test to avoid confusion as no one would question the validity of that test.
