Kejriwal said, "The Center has decided to lift the ban and start flights to Britain." Given the extremely serious state of COVID in the UK, I have urged the central government to extend the ban by 31 January. "the new strain of Corona was first introduced to the UK and is more contagious."
There have been 73 reported cases of new corona strains in India. The new strain of the corona is more contagious. In view of the new strain of Corona, from midnight of 23 December to 7 January, the government imposed a temporary ban on all flights coming from Britain. The service will now be replaced with conditions from January 8.
