For Lakshadweep
All visitors to Lakshadweep will have to carry a negative RT-PCR test report, conducted within 48 hours of travel dates. These rules are also applicable to the crew of various ships, vessels and other boats in the region. The administrative authorities of Lakshadweep have also put new quarantine norms, and all arrivals will have to undergo a three-day mandatory quarantine. The same will not be applicable on fully vaccinated travellers with the last dose taken 14 days before travel.
Fully vaccinated people will also not need a COVID test result in case of inter-island travel. The authorities have also made it clear that everyone needs to strictly adhere to COVID preventive measures, and practice appropriate behaviour as well.
