Those travelling to Uttar Pradesh from States with high cases of COVID-19 — more than 3% test positivity rate — will need to produce a negative RT-PCR test report.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has instructed officials to follow the new protocol amid rise in cases in some States.
The RT-PCR report should not be more than four days old. Those fully vaccinated will be given relaxations.
Mr. Adityanath said that though the pandemic was now under control there was a need to be vigilant.
Cases were being reported in several regions of the country, he told a group of senior officials while reviewing COVID-19 situation.
Uttar Pradesh has 1,262 active cases of COVID-19.
