However, some states may have mandated negative RT-PCR test reports for all incoming passengers so do check-up if that's the case before you leave. More importantly, you need to be fully vaccinated and keep the certificates handy to prove that. You can easily download your vaccination certificate through the COWIN app and keep it on your phone. You may also want to print a hard copy of it just in case your phone runs out of battery and you need to show your certificate to the authorities.

These include wearing a mask all the time, washing or sanitising your hands every now and then, avoiding unnecessary contact with surfaces, and following social distancing.
