As per the new travel rules in UK, Indians will not be considered vaccinated there even if they have taken both doses, as per India Today.?
10 days of quarantine is compulsory.
"Absolutely bizarre considering Covishield was originally developed in the UK and The Serum Institute, Pune has supplied to that country too! This smacks of racism," said Congress leader Jairam Ramesh.?
According to the UK government, if a person has been vaccinated in Africa, or South America, or countries including UAE, India, Turkey, Jordan, Thailand, Russia, they are considered unvaccinated and will have to follow quarantine rules.?
"From 4 am Monday 4 October 2021, the rules for international travel to England will change from the red, amber, green traffic light system to a single red list of countries and simplified travel measures for arrivals from the rest of the world. The rules for travel from countries and territories not on the red list will depend on your vaccination status," said the UK Government website.?
Not good news for Indians who have taken the jab twice as the vaccine becomes redundant for they will have to undergo the same restrictions that non-vaccinated people from the country shall have. ??
