Limits on public gatherings and the operations of businesses and transport services are no longer in place. Facemask mandates and social distancing rules in public areas are underway in most states. Some states allow only those with proof of vaccination to enter nonessential public venues, though authorities may not strictly enforce such rules or may rescind them at short notice. Several states are mandating fines for violators of social distancing rules, though reports indicate poor adherence and enforcement levels.

Most interstate passengers must carry negative results of a COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours before departure or proof of completing vaccination at least 15 days before travel; some regions require such documents only for arrivals from designated high-risk domestic locations or allow proof of partial vaccination instead. The enforcement level of the measures varies across states.

International commercial passenger flights are operational. Authorities have resumed the issuance of tourist visas. Air carriers may bar individuals exhibiting symptoms during pre-departure thermal screening from boarding flights to India.

International passengers need not submit vaccination certificates or pre- departure COVID-19 test results effective Nov. 22. They will undergo thermal screening on arrival; isolation and testing are mandatory for symptomatic passengers. All entrants must self-monitor their health up to 14 days of arrival; authorities may conduct random free-of-cost testing of passengers at entry ports for surveillance. Officials may modify restrictions at short notice depending on disease activity and bilateral agreements.

State-specific quarantine and testing requirements may change at short notice, especially during localized spikes in COVID-19 cases; travelers seeking exemptions and waivers must do so from authorities in all intended destination and transit states before arrival.
