India’s Foreign Secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla has urged officials in the UK to reconsider the country’s Red List status for visitors from India.
He claims Mumbai and Delhi are ‘practically free of Covid.’
Mr Shringla said: “Mumbai, Delhi are practically free of Covid. We can’t rest on that situation because we are constantly vigilant, telling our citizens to take precautions so that we don’t have a third wave.
“I pointed out that France had cleared visitors from India without quarantine, if they are double vaccinated and have a negative test. The US has upgraded India in the travel scheme. I encouraged the UK to do the same.” he told India media.
