Earlier this year when India was battling the massive second wave of Coronavirus pandemic , the US had put India in “Level 4” and advised its citizen to refrain from travelling to India .Later in August, the nation eased it’s travel advisory and lowered India to “Level 2” which is Moderate .
Now the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued “Level one” notice for Americans travelling to India. This would mean that the risk of contracting infection in India and developing severe symptoms would be low if you are fully vaccinated. However they advised anyone travelling to India should wear mask when out in public places and maintain social distancing.
India has been reporting a low caseload everyday consistently for a few months now. On Monday, India reported 8,865 new Covid infections, the lowest in 287 days.
India has also signed a mutual recognition of Covid vaccination certificate with 99 nations and there would be quarantine free travel entry for foreign tourists.
