MUMBAI: Now, all international passengers, even those who are fully vaccinated, flying into Mumbai and other airports in Maharashtra will require a negative RT-PCR report with a validity of 72 hours.
According to an order issued by Maharashtra chief secretary Sitaram Kunte on Friday, the guidelines issued by the Centre will supersede all the orders issued by the state government for international travellers, which included a waiver of the RT-PCR test for fully vaccinated flyers.
The order provides relief to passengers arriving in the state from Europe, Middle East and South Africa countries who were required to go for a mandatory 14-day quarantine and RT-PCR tests during this period.
