Inter-State travelers coming to Karnataka now do not have to undergo the 14-day home quarantine that was earlier mandatory in view of the COVID-19 pandemic. Besides this, there will no longer be a medical check-up at the State borders, bus stations, railway stations, and airports.
The circular was issued on August 24, 2020. The State government however has ‘advised’ asymptomatic passengers to self-monitor their health for 14 days from the date of arrival for any symptoms of COVID-19 such as cough, fever, difficulty in breathing or throat pain, and call the Apthamitra 14410 helpline if they need medical consultation. The asymptomatic passengers can report to work or perform any other activities in the State.“They shall observe standard COVID-19 precautions such as the compulsory wearing of face mask, a physical distancing of 2 meters (or 6 feet), frequent hand-washing with soap and water or use of hand sanitizer, follow cough etiquette, etc. while in public areas and workplaces,” the circular states.
