Confusion, panic over India s red list travel ban by UK
Hundreds of Indian students and UK-based Indian-origin families have been sent into a mode of confusion and panic with India being added to Britainâs COVID-19 travel red list , which imposes a ban on entry to the country for all except British or Irish residents. The red list status, which is effective from 4 am local time on Friday, came amid a spike in coronavirus infections in India and also resulted in British Prime Minister Boris Johnson cancelling his planned visit to New Delhi next week.
The ban means that those with valid residency rights returning to the UK after the deadline on Friday face the additional financial burden of compulsory hotel quarantine and tests costs, estimated at around 2,000 pounds per person.
