CHANDIGARH: The Punjab government has made the self e-registration process mandatory for each road traveller entering or transiting through the state from Monday midnight.
Punjab chief minister Amarinder Singh had earlier ruled out dilution of the 14-day mandatory home quarantine for domestic entrants because of the high risk posed by those coming from Delhi or the national capital region, in particular. The Punjab government has now strongly advised road travellers entering or transiting through the state to self-register either through Cova App or through a weblink https://cova.punjab.gov.in/registration before embarking on the journey.

The online self-registration would help the travellers in avoiding any inconvenience due to crowding and long queues at the Punjab border checkpoints. Those asymptomatic travellers who are entering Punjab and not merely transiting it will have to undergo self-quarantine at their homes for 14 days.
During the quarantine period they are required to report their medical status daily either by calling 112 or through the Cova App. Whereas, for the symptomatic passengers, the state health department would give appropriate instructions at the check-point.
All the relevant details about the visitors or residents coming into Punjab would be shared with the concerned health authorities and police stations through a real-time alert system. Thereafter, the concerned police station would keep a regular check both through physical and technical means (geo-fencing) on the incoming visitors at their given addresses for their protection and the health safety of other people.
