WASHINGTON (AP) â The U.S. will restrict travel from India starting on May 4, the White House said Friday, citing a devastating rise in COVID-19 cases in the country and the emergence of potentially dangerous variants of the coronavirus.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki said President Joe Bidenâs administration made the determination on the advice of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
THE appalling scenes in India are a shocking reminder of the catastrophic effects of failing to suppress the coronavirus.
Even with the best will in the world, in a country as poor as India, with low levels of healthcare and often overcrowded living and working conditions, there was always a risk that this might happen.
But the situation has been clearly exacerbated by following the model of allowing the virus to freely circulate.
That model is one that has been most vigorously pursued across the rich countries of the West, in the EU, in this country and in North America.
