The state will allow home quarantine for pregnant women; children below the age of 10, people aged 80 and above; and terminally ill patients along with one attendant after they test negative.
In special cases like businessmen coming for urgent work, the quarantine period will be waived if they furnish a report from an ICMR-approved laboratory showing they tested negative for COVID-19.
The report should not be more than two days old from the date of travel, it said.
