Karwar: Tourists who are fully vaccinated towards Goa from the Majali border in Karwar face a problem because the authorities at checkpost do not allow them to enter neighboring countries without doing fast antigen tests (mice) or if they do not produce negative.
The RT-PCR report obtained no more than 72 hours before.
While extending the lock in Goa until 7 in the morning on July 12, the Chairman of the Minister of Pramod Sawant has stated that travelers who are fully vaccinated do not have to produce negative reports in Goa.
“People who have taken both doses and have certificates stating the same thing will be allowed to enter the country …” he said.
However, many traveled far to come to Majali, to enter Goa, forced to undergo mice even though they were fully vaccinated.
“We believe in media reports where the Chief of the Minister of Goa Pramod Sawant has stated that people who are fully vaccinated can enter the country without obstacles.
However, police and medical staff here do not allow us to enter, say we do not have a RT-PCR test report.
We Not aware of this.
If they published it before, we will bring a certificate, “Manjula said, a traveler from Bengaluru.
“Initially, they did not allow us to enter even after we showed a vaccination certificate.
But after a long fight, they allowed me inside,” Satish Kamat said from Mangaluru.
When the police and health workers at the border were asked about this, they said they followed government instructions not to allow anyone without a negative report on RT-PCR or mice to Goa.
The Government’s Goa HC approach to Goa the government has approached the High Court to enable people who are fully vaccinated to enter the country without negative-negative certificates, after HC issued orders that everyone who wants to enter the Covid-negative certificate has a validity certificate of 72 hours.
The court has asked the state government to seek an opinion of a doctor’s expert panel, who has agreed with the view of the government.
The court tends to reveal on July 12 whether it agrees with the government’s advice to allow people who are fully vaccinated into caves without a negative Covid certificate.
At present, every traveler who wants to enter the cave must produce a certificate like that or tested on the border.
