Ayyappa devotees visiting Sabarimala have been granted exemption from the covid safety norms issued by the Health Department.
For Ayyappa devotees who book through the virtual queue system and visit Sabarimala, a two-dose certificate of covid vaccine or an RTPCR negative certificate within 72 hours will suffice. Travancore Devaswom Board President Adv. Vasu made this clear. An earlier order issued by the health department had asked the devotees to have both.
