No COVID Negative Report Required To Enter The State: Himachal Pradesh CM
Mumbai: Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur said on Wednesday that COVID-19 negative certificates will not be required to enter the state.
Talking to reporters, Thakur said that the move would revive the state’s economy as more tourists would now be able to visit Himachal Pradesh.
“Now that the state has opened its borders, no registration will be required to enter and exit the state. The tourism business will open up after this and it will help revive the region’s economy. During the monsoon season, tourism will start. Since the monsoon, tourists have started arriving here, “he said.
Thakur further appealed to everyone to follow coronavirus related safety protocols and norms.
