Gujarat: RT-PCR report valid for 72 hours

AHMEDABAD: Gujarat has mandated RT-PCR negative report for Covid-19 for travellers entering Gujarat from any other state of the country from April 1.
For those who make short-travel plans for work or personal reasons, there is a breather. The RT-PCR report which outbound travellers from Gujarat got done for travel to states like Rajasthan, Maharashtra will be valid for 72 hours. This effectively means that the report can be used to enter Gujarat without getting a fresh report done if the individual is returning back to the state within the validity period of 72 hours.
“For people travelling to states which have mandated a RT-PCR negative report and coming back the next day or within the validity period of 72-hours, the same report will be sustainable,” said Jayanti Ravi, principal secretary of the state health department.
