Due to the increased spread of the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) in India, the United States has asked its citizens to reconsider their travel plans.

The request comes after the CDC issued a Level-3 travel health notice for India, indicating a high level of virus.

“If you are fully vaccinated with an FDA-approved vaccine, your risk of contracting Covid-19 and developing severe symptoms may be reduced,” the US State Department said in a statement on Tuesday. It also advised citizens planning trips to other countries to review the CDC’s travel vaccination and immunisation recommendations for both vaccinated and unvaccinated travellers.

The CDC issued a Level-1 Covid-19 warning for Americans travelling to India in November of last year.

In India, the total number of Covid-19 infections has surpassed 40 million after 285,914 infections were reported in the last 24 hours. The number of people who have died has risen to 491,127. Until now, more than 37.3 million patients have benefited from Covid-19.

Because the country is in the midst of the third wave of the pandemic, daily cases are unlikely to exceed 400,000. However, the wave is rapidly spreading in rural areas, thanks to the Omicron variant.

Meanwhile, due to crime and terrorism, the US State Department has advised Americans to exercise increased caution in India.
