Goa Mandates COVID Negative Report, Vaccination Proof For Tourists

Goa CM Pramod Sawant on May 7 announced that tourists entering the state will now have to mandatorily produce valid RT-PCR negative test reports or proof of vaccination. The measure, which followed the Bombay High Court's observation that Goa is not serious about restrictions, will be enforced from next week. Earlier, the HC had said it was "not justified" for the government to refrain from restrictions citing tourism.
