Every traveller will have to carry a Covid-negative certificate, and if anyone is found exhibiting symptoms of the disease at the entry point might have to undergo the test again, he said.
The government has also stipulated one-week home quarantine for international travellers regardless of their test results, the official stated.
Additionally, all entrants will have to monitor their health for a period of 10 days from the day of entry into Meghalaya, and inform the administration in case they feel unwell or develop symptoms of the disease.
Iterating that masks should be worn at all time in public places, Kumar further asked people to continue maintaining social distance, while also practising hand hygiene.
So if you are planning something do go through the process and STAY SAFE & WEAR MASK.
