As per the latest rule, for passengers arriving from Maharashtra, the worst-hit state due to Covid-19, a negative RT-PCR report (not older than 72 hours before departure) is now mandatory.
Flyers not carrying a negative report will have to undergo a 14-day quarantine. Budget carrier IndiGo and SpiceJet took to their respective Twitter handle to alert passengers about the latest travel rules.
