Following recommendations from the State’s COVID-19 Technical Advisory Committee and guidelines from the Centre, the State government has exempted those arriving from the United Kingdom, Europe, and the Middle East from RT-PCR testing at airports.

This requirement was made to minimise the risk of importation of variants from various entry points into Karnataka.
