The Indian Railways has said they have suspended biometric attendance and limited the use of breathalysers for train drivers following the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. A railway spokesperson confirmed this saying the mandatory blood alcohol tests for train drivers are now being done with disposable breathalyser kits.

"Doctors at Emergency Medical Rooms in railway stations are being sensitised on Coronavirus and the Central Railway has also identified quarantine centres. We have been disseminating public health messages at railway stations and on trains," Central Railway Chief Public Relations Officer Shivaji Sutar said.
