Even as the South Goa district Collector Ruchika Katyal has issued an order that the full vaccination certificate or Covid negative test report for a test done within 72 hours of entry in Goa should be produced while entering the state, the district police Chief Pankaj Kumar Singh has on Monday said Goa borders have been sealed for unnecessary movement.
While insisting on documents for checking before the persons are allowed to enter the state, the District Collector, however, has exempted a number of persons, including residents of Goa on production of proof of residence, persons entering in Goa for work on production of work ID proof/letter from employer and persons entering Goa for a medical emergency on production of proof or coming in ambulance.
The Collector has warned of penal action if there’s a failure to comply with the order, cautioning it would be treated as violation of the Disaster Management Act.
Meanwhile, SP South Pankaj Kumar Singh has said the Goa police have sealed the borders for any unnecessary movement. “Travel only if you have a valid reason. Help Goa Police in ensuring effective lockdown,” he said.
