Maharashtra issues revised air travel guidelines
On December 2nd, Maharashtra Health Minister Rajesh Tope announced revisions to air travel guidelines for domestic flights. Details will be released by the State government in the next couple of days, amid concerns over the Omicron variant of coronavirus. This comes a day after the Centre asked the State to align its order with the SOPs issued by the Union Health Ministry. Institutional quarantine has been mandated for passengers from high-risk countries, notably, South Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe.
As of December 3rd, the State government confirmed that fully vaccinated domestic fliers will not require the RT-PCR test, but those vaccinated only once or yet to be vaccinated will have to produce a negative RT-PCR test on arrival.
