TN makes negative COVID report a must for those from Kerala

The Tamil Nadu government has made mandatory a negative RT-PCR test report and a COVID-19 vaccination (two doses) certificate for people coming to the State from neighbouring in order to keep the pandemic in check.

Owing to the huge number of coronavirus cases in the neighbouring State which saw 22,414 cases and 108 deaths on Wednesday, the Tamil Nadu government issued an addendum to the COVID-19 screening testing guidelines for inter-State travellers issued earlier by the Health and Family Welfare Department.

The addendum made compulsory the negative report or vaccination certificate or both for travellers from Kerala. All passengers entering Tamil Nadu from Kerala via air, sea, rail and road should carry a negative RT-PCR test report. The test should have been conducted within 72 hours prior to undertaking the journey or produce a certificate of two doses of approved COVID-19 vaccination or both, the addendum said.
