PTIThe Bengaluru city administration has geared up to enforce Covid norms on inter-state travelers from Kerala and Maharashtra in response to the steep rise in cases in the neighbouring Kerala.
BBMP chief commissioner Gaurav Gupta on Tuesday said that 11 teams of civic officials and police will be deployed at railway and bus stations to check on travelers from Kerala and Maharashtra. People arriving from these two states to Bengaluru need to show an RT-PCR negative report on arrival or get institutionally quarantined and wait until the arrival of their test reports. RT-PCR reports produced on arrival should not be older than 72 hours. Even those people who are fully vaccinated are not exempted.
“We want to strictly implement the existing norms. Officials will take stern action against rule violators,” Gupta said.
The mandatory RT-PCR negative test report is not applicable to people who are coming from states other than Kerala and Maharashtra.
