Good news for travellers! Karnataka eases COVID-19 testing rules for passengers arriving from Goa, Kerala and Maharashtra.
In the fresh order, the Government of Karnataka has announced that people coming from the three mentioned destinations will no longer be required to produce negative RT-PCR test reports to enter the state. However, passengers would still need to present a two-dose/full dose vaccination certificate.
Here’s what Kempegowda International Airport, Bengaluru, tweeted:
