It has been made compulsory for those traveling from Kerala to produce a certificate of an RT-PCR test issued within 72 hours or a certificate to confirm that they have taken the first dose of a Covid-19 vaccine.
However, the current situation is the result of the guidelines of the Karnataka government not being implemented at the border districts.
The state Health Department has given instructions to these districts to take stern measures to contain the numbers.
