Why someone unlikely to transmit COVID should undergo RT-PCR every 72 hours: Kerala HC asks State, Centre

Kerala High Court was hearing a petition by a man who refuses to get vaccinated and is not in favour of getting an RT-PCR every 72 hours as it is not a pleasant experience for him

If a person is unlikely to be a threat of COVID-19 infection to others, how can he be forced to undergo RT-PCR test every 72 hours for going out to work or any other activity? the Kerala High Court asked the State government on Wednesday. The query was posed to the State government during hearing of a plea by a man who refuses to be vaccinated and has challenged the COVID guidelines which mandates having at least one dose of vaccine or a negative RT-PCR report not older than 72 hours or a COVID-19 positive result more than a month old for going to work or to a shop. Justice P.B. Suresh Kumar also impleaded the central government in the matter and sought its stand on the issue.
