Covid-19 travel ban: These countries have restricted flights to and from India

The travel ban imposed by US President Joe Biden on people arriving from India, stricken by coronavirus disease (Covid-19) pandemic, came into effect on Tuesday. Biden signed a proclamation restricting travel from India, with some exceptions, after the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) updated India’s Covid-19 assessment from Level 3 to Level 4, the highest level on its scale. The CDC has warned that even vaccinated travellers “may be at risk for getting and spreading” coronavirus variants.

The United Kingdom has already put India on its ‘red list’, which means foreigners who have been in or through India in the previous 10 days will be refused entry to the UK.
