Passengers will now have to carry negative Covid report if traveling to Mumbai

Maharashtra has made it compulsory for people arriving in the state from Delhi-NCR, Rajasthan, Goa and Gujarat to provide COVID-19 negative report.

"The passengers without symptoms will be allowed entry. Passengers with symptoms shall have the option of turning back and going to their home to recuperate," a state government order said.

According to new guidelines by the state government, any passenger coming to Mumbai from Delhi, Rajasthan, Goa and Gujarat, will now have to mandatorily undergo RT-PCR test before boarding flights and a negative report.

Notably negative report is mandatory for boarding in the flight.

The RT-PCR sample collection should have been done within 72 hours of scheduled time of landing at airports in Maharashtra, the order said.
