Let’s take a look at the Kerala airport quarantine rules and see what all a passenger needs to do when he/she is travelling to the state.

But there are a few things which are the same for both domestic and international passengers. First is that thermal screening is mandatory for all the passengers that come to the state. Adding to this, for any passenger which shows even the slightest of symptoms of being infected with COVID19 will have to undergo a COVID test.
For passengers which do not show symptoms, they will be asked to undergo a 14 day home quarantine. But there is an exception to the quarantine rules.
