E-registration for travellers to Punjab made mandatory
After Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh ruled out dilution of 14-day home quarantine norm for domestic entrants, in the light of the high risk posed by those coming from Delhi/NCR in particular, the process of e-registration for all travellers to the state has been made mandatory. The travellers can self-register online from the comfort of their homes, as per the guidelines issued by the government, and ensure their hassle-free travel for themselves. The state government has strongly advised road travellers entering or transiting through Punjab to self-register, either through COVA app or through a web link, https://cova.punjab.gov.in/registration, before embarking on the journey. The objective of e-registration is to avoid any inconvenience to the travellers due to crowding and long queues at the border checkpoints. The travellers are advised to follow the following registration process.
- Register yourself and your co-passengers through either of two ways:
- Through Cova App
- Download ‘COVA App’ on your smartphone from the Apple App Store or Android Play Store.
- Install the App.
- From the Menu choose ‘Self -registration for travel into/ through Punjab’
- Fill in all particulars as sought and press the ‘Submit” button.
- Through a weblink
- Self-register at https://cova.punjab.gov.in/registration
- Fill in all particulars as sought and press the ‘Submit” button.
- Download and Install Cova App before travelling.
- After registration, the primary traveller will receive a confirmation link through SMS.
- Click on the link for printout.
- Take a printout with QR code on the A4 size sheet.
- For 4/3 wheelers, paste the printout on the left side of your windscreen or place it on the dashboard.
- At the Border Check Points, staff will scan the QR code on the printout.
- This will be followed by basic medical screening.
- After a successful medical screening, the process is over. In case a passenger exhibits COVID symptoms, the health staff at the Border Check Point will assist and guide the passenger(s).
