Flyers from Maharashtra no longer need negative RT-PCR report at Delhi airport

The RT-PCR test compulsion for travellers from Maharashtra had come into effect in April this year as Covid-19 cases across the state had increased. As per the norm, all passengers arriving in the Capital from Maharashtra had to carry a negative RT-PCR report (not older than 72 hours before departure). Flyers, who did not carry a negative report, were required to undergo a 14-day quarantine routine.

Air Vistara and SpiceJet confirmed the development on their social media handles. SpiceJet said, “Delhi-bound passengers from Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana are not required to carry a negative RT-PCR test report anymore. Please refer to the detailed state-wise guidelines before your travel date.”
