Amid the rise in Covid cases nationally, the Karnataka Government issued new surveillance measures for passengers arriving from Goa. These passengers will now have to mandatorily produce a negative RT-PCR report not older than 72 hours. Karnataka Health Department has informed about the order through its official social media handle. Notably, both Karnataka and Goa have been marked as states of concern by the Ministry of Health Affairs (MHA).

Order applicable for all passengers

Passengers travelling via flights, trains, buses or personal vehicles from Goa will all have to carry the negative certificate. In order to enforce this, airlines, railways and roadways authorities have been instructed to check for the report before allowing entry. Moreover, the rule is also applicable for any passengers who are taking a connecting flight via Goa. Exemptions will be granted only to constitutional functionaries, healthcare professionals, and children below 5 years of age. In case of emergencies, the passenger will be tested upon arrival.

Border check-posts set up between the two states
