50% Indians favour suspension of all international flights from countries with Omicron

About 50% of Indians favour suspension of international flights from countries, where omicron infections are high, shows a survey by local circles. “The survey received more than 18,000 responses from citizens residing in 317 districts of India. 68% respondents were men while 32% respondents were women. 41% respondents were from tier 1, 30% from tier 2 and 29% respondents were from tier 3, 4 and rural districts,” local circles said in a release.

India had announced to resume international flights from December 15, 2021, but then decided to defer it due to rising Omicron cases across the world. India has introduced more checks for people from at-risk countries that includes African countries.
