Fully Vaccinated, Asymptomatic Passengers Travelling To Delhi Don’t Need RT-PCR Report

Delhi has now issued fresh guidelines for domestic travellers entering by air, road and trains. The central government has informed that there is no need for mandatory RT-PCR reports to allow entry for those passengers who have received both doses of covid-19 vaccines and are asymptomatic.

Earlier, the Delhi Disaster Management Authority ( DDMA) had approved a colour-coded plan, that divided the states into four levels depending on factors like the number of new virus cases, positivity rate and occupancy of bed and oxygen. The four levels were yellow, amber, orange and red.

To Which Travellers Did The Restrictions Apply?

  • Red level states and union territories are those with more than 5% positivity rate, or 16000 new cases, or 3000 oxygen-bed occupancies. So, travellers in any of these three situations were subject to travel restrictions.
  • People coming to Delhi via road, train or air from states and UTs with over 10% positivity rate were also subject to travel restrictions.
  • Travel restrictions applied to travellers coming from states and UTs with the new mutant of the virus.
