The new different guidelines for flyers by Maharashtra and Karnataka repeat the Centre-state inconsistencies seen during the second wave of Covid-19 and will create confusion among passengers, senior executives at airlines and travel companies have said.
Given rising concerns about the new highly infectious Omicron variant of coronavirus, the Centre has come up with new rules for international flyers coming into India. Under these rules, people coming from “at risk” countries must upload a Covid-negative test result and travel plans for 14 days on the government’s Air Suvidha portal, besides getting a second RT-PCR test done on arrival.
