About 200 more South Korean residents in India returned home on Friday via a special flight amid a crippling spike in COVID-19 cases in the South Asian country.

An Asiana Airlines flight carrying 204 passengers arrived at Incheon International Airport at around 6:20 a.m. from Bengaluru International Airport in India. 

Two people reportedly could not take the flight as they tested positive for COVID-19 before boarding.

The passengers will be under quarantine at state facilities for seven days. They have to take a diagnostic test on the first and the sixth day and can move to their residences for self-isolation if they test negative. They need to undergo virus tests again before they are freed from self-isolation.

Another group of South Koreans is set to return home on Sunday via a special Asiana flight from Delhi. 

Earlier this week, 172 South Koreans returned from India on a chartered flight.
