No need of negative RT-PCR test report to travel to Delhi

Hyderabad: Thanks to the decreasing number of Covid positive cases that now the Delhi bound passengers from Telangana and Andhra Pradesh states need not provide a negative report of the RT-PCR test.

While the others have allowed passengers without a negative report but the travelers should possess vaccination certificates.

The states which allowed vaccinated travellers include Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, Punjab, Odisha, Chandigarh, Meghalaya and Nagaland with two weeks of elapsed time.

The Centre had earlier indicated that the air travelers would be allowed to move interstate without a negative RT-PCR report but yet to make an official announcement. Authorities said that the restrictions would be eased out during the further unlocking period in the coming days.
