The State Govt of Karnataka on Friday announced that fully vaccinated travelers from Maharashtra will no longer be required to show a negative Covid-19 test to arrive in Karnataka.

This will apply to all travelers arriving into the state via any mode of transportation i.e. flights, trains, Buses any other road transport, or personal vehicles. However, they need to show a certificate of full vaccination against Covid-19 upon being asked.

The announcement comes after the Govt. of India relaxes the pre-departure testing requirement for international passengers arriving in India.

It is worth mentioning that due to rising cases of Omicron in Maharashtra, Kerala, and Goa, the state govt of Karnataka has imposed travel restrictions and required a negative RT-PCR test report done within 72 hrs. prior to their departure.
