Reportedly the Union government recently wrote to all states asking them to ensure that there is no restriction on inter-state and inter-district travel.

Karnataka

Karnataka recently announced major relaxations for inter-state travelers. The state has done away with mandatory registration on the Seva sindhu app, and has also removed the mandatory 14-day home quarantine for those who travel from other states in India. This includes those who travel by road and by air. Travelers will not be subjected to mandatory medical check-up at the entry of the state data-borders or bus, airport or rail stations upon arrival.

Andhra Pradesh

For travel into andhra pradesh, citizens still need to register onto the Spandana website and get an e-pass. All symptomatic and asymptomatic persons coming from chennai, mumbai, delhi, gujarat, rajasthan and madhya pradesh will be sent to institutional quarantine where they shall be tested on admission and after 7 days again tested and if found negative will be sent for home quarantine for 7 days. Asymptomatic persons coming from other areas will be sent to home quarantine for 14 days after their swabs are collected.

Kerala

Kerala has decided not to do away with the e-pass system, which has led to several organizations and the bjp protesting the move. As per the state government’s rules, people who wish to travel to kerala have to register on the Jagratha e-portal and wait for their request to be approved. The travelers will have to show their e-pass at data-border check-points and their temperature will also be checked there. Travelers will then have to mandatorily stay in home quarantine for 14 days.

Telangana

In telangana, there are no restrictions on inter-state travel and people do not need an e-pass. There is no mandate for inter-state travelers to undergo home quarantine, either.

Tamilnadu

Tamilnadu chief minister Edappadi Palaniswami has been holding consultations with officials and experts on whether the e-pass norm can be done away with. Currently, for intra-state travel, e-pass can be obtained by submitting details of either Aadhaar or ration card along with telephone/mobile numbers without any delays. tamilnadu recently relaxed the e-pass norms for travel between districts in the state. E-passes for those who come from other states and those arriving from abroad are, however, only given to those with medical emergencies, weddings or deaths.

Puducherry

Following the Centre’s direction that there should not be any restriction on interstate travel, the government of puducherry has said that no e-passes will be necessary to move to and from the Union Territory.
