Karnataka
All students and employees coming to Karnataka from Kerala are required to show a negative RT-PCR report that is not older than 72 hours. It will be considered valid for one week.This is irrespective of whether these travellers have had one dose or both doses of the vaccine. Such arrivals will also have to undergo institutional quarantine for seven days. An RT-PCR test will be conducted on the seventh day, on which the traveller must test negative to be released.
On the other hand, the state government has exempted certain travellers from Kerala from this institutional quarantine, provided that they have a short-term travel plan. The new rule says that such short-term travellers should be in Karnataka for a maximum of three days.
