Must carry RT- PTC reports if you are planning to come Bangalore

Karnataka health minister, K Sudhakar, attributed the sudden increase in Covid-19 cases in Bengaluru to people with travel histories and said on Thursday that an RT-PCR negative report would be needed for anyone arriving in the capital city by any mode of transportation from any state.

The travel restrictions will take effect on April 1st, and a formal order is still pending. There is a frequent increase in Covid-19 infections, and we find that nearly 60% of those who turned positive in recent days came from other states, The Health minister, Suhhakar stated, after reviewing Bengaluru’s Covid situation with officials from the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP).

He also added travellers from Maharashtra, Kerala, Punjab, and Chandigarh must now bring RT-PCR negative reports with them before entering Bengaluru. It now extends to all states.

Sudhakar did not explain how screening would operate, stating that rigid restrictions would apply only to those travelling to Bengaluru.

Some issues remained unclear, such as what would happen if an inter-state passenger arrived in other parts of the state before travelling to Bengaluru. whether a vaccinated individual could also get an RT-PCR test before travelling to Bengaluru, and what would happen if a traveller arrived in Bengaluru without an RT-PCR record.

Beginning April 1, all visitors to Bengaluru from outside Karnataka must show a negative RT-PCR Covid-19 test. If you’re planning to travel to Bengaluru, don’t forget to bring your RT-PCR COVID-19 test report. You can only enter the city if the test report is negative.
