Bengaluru: Without allowing a daily Covid surge in Kerala, the Karnataka Government on Monday made it mandatory for all those from neighboring countries to undergo institutional quarantine seven days.
They will be allowed to go home after another test at the end of quarantine.
“This is the precautions and advice of experts,” said US Revenue Minister Ashoka said.
The government clarifies that the negative certificate of RT-PCR is a necessity to enter Dakshina Kannada Regency from Kerala; Those without certificates will be rejected at the border checkpoint.
The rules will take effect from Tuesday.
The government has decided to take advantage of the government hostel to accommodate travelers from Kerala.
“If there are no government facilities available, the state will identify cheap hotels for quarantine.
While staying for a week will be free at government facilities, those who are quarantined must pay in private facilities,” said Minister of Health K Sudhakar.
