New travel rules for domestic, international passengers in Tamil Nadu
In view of the spike in Covid-19 cases, the Tamil Nadu Health and Family Welfare Department have issued fresh travel guidelines for domestic and international passengers. E-pass is mandatory for all international passengers and domestic travellers, except those from neighbouring states of Puducherry, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. The move comes in the wake of a spurt in coronavirus cases in states like Maharashtra and Kerala, even as Tamil Nadu has been witnessing an increase in the number of new infections over the past few days.
A Government Order to this effect was issued recently by the Health and Family Welfare Department.
Travellers visiting the state after generating an e-pass allow the government to trace them or their contacts if they had tested Covid-19 positive during their stay in Tamil Nadu.
