Updated Yesterday · 11:15 pm Britain s Prime Minister Boris Johnson meets Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at a bilateral meeting during the G7 summit in Biarritz, France in 2019. | Stefan Rousseau/ Reuters The United Kingdom on Monday added India to its travel “red-list” amid concerns about a new variant of the coronavirus, said Britain’s Health Minister Matt Hancock, reported BBC. This bans all arrivals from India except for British or Irish citizens, who will have to pay to stay in a UK government-approved quarantine hotel for 10 days on their return. The restriction will come into effect from April 23. The decision was made after 103 new cases of a coronavirus variant first detected in India, were found in Britain. Hancock said test samples had been analysed to see if the new variant had any “concerning characteristics” such as greater transmissibility or resistance to treatments and vaccines.
