The US has advised its citizens not to travel to India due to the rapidly growing corona infection. Pakistan has also temporarily banned the visit. The US Department of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has said in its statement that given the current state of India, it would be fatal for people who have both vaccinated to be vaccinated. So avoid travelling to India. If it is necessary to go, wear a mask, stay with a distance of six feet. Avoid frequent hand washing and crowding.
With this, the US has said that if outbound passengers have got both doses of the vaccine, they do not need a corona test to go out of the country. If you are going to the country where necessary, then do the test. There is no need to self-quarantine when returning. Pakistan, which has suffered from Corona infection in its own country, has also temporarily stopped the movement of India as a precautionary measure. Pakistan has placed India in the C category. Under this, temporary restrictions have been put on coming by air or road. It may be noted that Hong Kong has also imposed a similar ban earlier. In the last few days, new cases of corona in India have increased tremendously.
Britain prohibits Indian travellers
It is to be known that the world community is also worried about the Corona epidemic reaching dangerous levels in India. Many countries have started closing their borders for commuters from India. First of all, Britain has closed its doors to all non-British citizens coming from India. Russia has also decided to postpone the visa granting process in India for a few days.
The UK Health Ministry on Monday released a red list of countries where any person who has been or has been within the last 10 days will not be allowed to come to the UK. Only British citizens are exempted from this rule, but they will also have to quarantine in a predetermined hotel for 10 days upon reaching the UK. This rule will be effective April 23 for Indian travellers. The British government has taken this decision a few hours after the cancellation of PM Boris Johnson’s visit to India.
The UK has taken this decision in the last few days because of the Kovid-affected cases and their link to India. Prior to this, New Zealand has also banned the arrival of any Indians till 28 April. Hong Kong had made a similar decision a day earlier.
On the other hand, from the Embassy of Russia in New Delhi, it has been told that in view of the increasing cases of Kovid in India, the process of granting visas has been stopped from April 19, 2021, till further notice. The United States has announced a ban on all interviews to be held for the grant of visas from April 20 to 25. It has been told by the US Embassy that this decision has been taken in view of the curfew in Delhi.
