PANAJI: High Court of Bombay at Goa has permitted Goa government to allow fully vaccinated persons to enter Goa without covid negative certificate.
“The HC has allowed the application by the state government where people who are fully vaccinated, post 14 days of their second dose, can enter Goa without an RT-PCR negative test or a rapid antigen test,” said Advocate Nikhil Pai
The expert committee of the Goa government recently recommended that travellers from other States possessing authentic vaccination certificates should be allowed to enter the State without a negative RT-PCR report.
The State had then filed an application in the court. It said, “The pandemic situation has substantially improved. There have been only 195 active cases as of July 6. The positivity rate is less than 5% and the recovery rate is 97% in the State.”
The application also mentioned that Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Nagaland and Meghalaya were allowing entry to those who were fully vaccinated and Punjab was even permitting those who had received their first dose.
