MUMBAI: International passengers flying into Mumbai and other airports in Maharashtra will now have to conform with only one set of entry regulations, those imposed by the union government.
In an order passed on Friday, the state government removed the separate restrictions it had earlier issued, which includes a waiver of the RT-PCR test for fully vaccinated international flyers.
Now all international flyers, even those who are fully vaccinated, will require an RT-PCR negative report with a validity of 72 hours.
This is in line with the union government’s norms. Till now, international passengers flying into Maharashtra had to follow two sets of entry guidelines, those issued by the union government and those by the state.
