Last week, Canada extended the travel ban for all direct passenger and business flights from India until July 21, 2021.
Canada first introduced the travel ban on both India and Pakistan on April 22 amid concerns about rising cases of COVID-19 variants.
Dr. Theresa Tam, Canada’s chief public health officer had said that the variant in India shows increased transmissibility.
The initial travel ban was due to end on May 22, but was extended another 30 days until June 21. The travel ban was not extended for Pakistan.
“Given the number of COVID-19 cases continue to be very high in India, we have extended our flight restrictions for this country,” Omar Alghabra, Canada’s transport minister said, “We will continue to assess the evolving situation and determine appropriate action going forward.
