The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare on Wednesday issued fresh guidelines for domestic travel in which it said that states must not insist on a negative RT-PCR test report for those who have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19 and 15 days have elapsed.
The ministry advised states not to restrict inter-state transport by air, rail, road or water. In case, RT-PCR tests or Rapid Antigen Testing (RAT) is required prior to entry, they must be publicised widely so as to “maximise traveller convenience”.
” Asymptomatic persons who have been vaccinated with both doses of the Covid-19 vaccine and 15 days have lapsed since the administration of second dose of the vaccine and are in possession of the final vaccination certificate issued through the Co-WIN portal, such persons may be exempted from mandatory requirement of possessing a negative RT-PCR report or RAT test on their entry into the State,” the guidelines stated.
