Full vaccination or negative Covid-19 report must for going to parties, restaurants in Goa: CM

The Goa government will make it mandatory for people to be fully vaccinated or carry a Covid-19 negative report to attend parties or enter restaurants in the coastal state, Chief Minister Pramod Sawant said on Wednesday.

 

 

Speaking to reporters, Sawant said district administrations will issue a notification to this effect by Wednesday evening.

 

He said organisers of various events in the state would have to ensure that the guests carry these certificates.

 

The Goa government on Tuesday decided not to impose night curfew in the coastal state for now so that the tourism business amid the Christmas-New Year festival season is not affected. Sawant had said his government was monitoring the Covid-19 positivity rate and stringent decisions would be taken during the meeting of the task force scheduled to be held on January 3 in case this rate rises
