Biden Admin To Restrict Travel From India To US

USA Today reports:

President Joe Biden’s administration plans to restrict travel from India to the US beginning Tuesday due to a surge in COVID cases. The move follows a recommendation from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said.

“The policy will be implemented in light of extraordinarily high COVID-19 caseloads and multiple variants circulating in India,” she said in a statement. Details are not yet available on whether flights will be banned from India or if foreign nationals will be banned from entering.

United and Air India each offer nonstop flights between the U.S. and India. United operates four flights per day and Air India offers a mix of daily and weekly service, according to aviation data company Cirium.
