Those Who Got Both Vaccine Doses Must Also Take Covid Test To Enter Assam

At least seven districts in Assam still have positivity rates higher than 10 per cent.

The Assam government has made Covid testing mandatory for passengers entering the state by train and flight who have received both the doses of vaccines. A notification issued by the state health and family welfare department mentioned that the step has become necessary following several instances in which persons who have received two doses of vaccines tested positive for the infection. The state government on June 25 exempted people who have received both doses of Covid vaccines from undergoing mandatory testing on arrival at airports or railway stations. The notification has now been withdrawn and another notification issued.
