Railways urge passengers to read health advisory and guidelines before travelling

The Railways Ministry on Monday urged passengers travelling from train to read and adhere to the heath advisory and guidelines issued by different states. They informed that some states have a requirement of RT-PCR test within 72-96 hours of train arrival.

In a tweet, the Railways urged everyone to carefully go through the guidelines of the state they are visiting. They mentioned that each state has specific guidelines, which the passenger should be aware about. Further, it has been mentioned that some states need the latest COVID-19 test report for entry.

“Passengers are requested to read the health advisory guidelines issued by different states before the commencement of their journey”, a part of the tweet read.

As a safe practice, Railways has always mentioned that no passenger will be allowed inside a train without mask. They have also informed previously of the precautionary measures they are taking to ensure the safety of both, staff and travellers.

Proper sanitation and social distancing is being ensured for the benefit of people in trains. No food is being served currently, in order to lessen the chances of spreading the virus.
