The decision comes after the daily coronavirus cases in Maharashtra has reduced in last few days.

Earlier in May this year, Mumbai airport had issued an official statement making it mandatory for all domestic passengers arriving in the city to present a negative RT-PCR test report at the time of boarding.

The RT-PCR sample collection should have been done within 48 hours of the scheduled time of landing at the Mumbai airport. Passengers without RT-PCR test reports were not allowed to board flights.
