Sikkim, March 5:<\/strong> Sikkim has now joined other states and imposed travel restrictions owing to the rise in COVID-19 cases in the country. Reportedly, those entering from Kerala, Maharashtra, Telangana, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu will be required to furnish a negative RT-PCR test<\/a><\/span> report, which they have undertaken prior to 72 hours of entering Sikkim.<\/p>\n

The said curb will remain in force for locals and tourists alike. Referring to this, Principal Secretary, Health, Sikkim K Sreenivasulu stated that the mutant strains are a matter of concern now, and its containment is very difficult.<\/p>\n

To ensure that this rule is strictly followed, a mechanism will be in place at Bagdogra, Siliguri, and Pakyong Airport. Reports have it that every year, around 40000 foreign tourists and 8 lakh domestic travellers visit this region.<\/p>\n

Media reports further state that the Health Department will send officials to Siliguri to keep a check on individuals coming from these states.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Further, when people reach Siliguri, it remains untapped as to where they are coming from. Hence, authorities will be establishing a mechanism for scrutiny of such people entering Sikkim.<\/p>\n

Reports further add that similar restrictions will be imposed at Sikkim Pakyong Airport.<\/p>\n

The Principal Secretary added that they already have a medical team deployed at Pakyong, however, more importantly, SpiceJet Airlines has been taken into confidence to impose restrictions on individuals travelling to Sikkim without the RT-PCR negative certificate.<\/p>\n

Those without the negative certificate will not be allowed to board the plane, he emphasized.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
