Air India’s corporate headquarters has been closed and sealed off after a worker tested positive for Covid-19.
The staffer works in the commercial department.
Airlines House will be off-limits for at least two days to conduct deep cleaning.
"As Air India accords top priority to the safety and wellbeing of its employees, the building will be closed for sanitisation adhering to protocol. All support is being extended to the employee concerned," an airline spokesperson said.
"All officers and employees have been asked to work from home."
The building will be reopened after an inspection and approval of the New Delhi Municipal Corporation.
Meanwhile, five Air India pilots who had been sent home after initially testing positive for Covid-19, have now been re-tested and all were cleared with negative results.
None had displayed any symptoms.
