Karnataka imposes travel rules for short-term travellers from Maharashtra

Travellers from Maharashtra take note, as the Karnataka Government has now issued COVID-19 guidelines for short term travellers from the state. Any travels that take two days or less is to be considered as a short travel. Karnataka takes this decision after the COVID case load is slightly higher in Maharashtra.
The Karnataka government has said that travellers from Maharashtra should be asymptomatic for travel. This means that such travellers must be free from cold, cough, fever, throat pain, difficulty in breathing, among other symptoms.

According to an official statement, it has been relayed that the travellers need to undergo mandatory thermal screening for fever upon arrival. They are also required to carry their double dosed COVID vaccine certificate.
It has also been reported that the Karnataka government has made it amply clear that travellers from Maharashtra are required to have covid appropriate behaviour. This means that they must wear face masks, and maintain distance, while also sanitize their hands during the entire length of their stay in the state.

If travellers can adhere to these rules and regulations, then they may be exempted from mandatory RT-PCR negative test reports for short durations of travel.

Karnataka is a neighbouring state of Maharashtra, and travellers often enter the state for a short holiday, or even for business travels.
