The Maharashtra government Wednesday allowed domestic fliers who have received both doses of a Covid-19 vaccine to enter the state without a negative RT-PCR report. Such passengers, however, will have to carry vaccination certificates for both the doses, state Public Health Minister Rajesh Tope said.
“Today, the state government has taken a decision to allow people, who are fully vaccinated, in Mumbai and Maharashtra without RT-PCR test.” Tope said. Until now, a negative RT-PCR test report, obtained 48 hours in advance, was mandatory for all travellers. On Tuesday, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) requested the state government to exempt all fully vaccinated domestic passengers arriving at Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport from carrying RT-PCR test reports.
