(CNN) — The Biden administration has confirmed that the US will restrict travel from India starting on Tuesday in response to the surge of coronavirus cases and variants being observed in the country.
"On the advice of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Administration will restrict travel from India starting immediately," White House press secretary Jen Psaki said in a statement on Friday. "The policy will be implemented in light of extraordinarily high COVID-19 caseloads and multiple variants circulating in the India. The policy will take effect on Tuesday, May 4."

The policy will not apply to American citizens, lawful permanent residents or other people with exemptions. As with all international travelers, individuals who fit that criteria traveling from India must still test negative prior to leaving the country, quarantine if they have not been vaccinated and test negative again upon reentering the US from India. The restrictions also do not apply to humanitarian workers.

How many thousands of possibly infected people will be allowed in? Biden should have taken this action last week.

“C’mon, man. That’s xenophobic.”
A lot of difference between Then and Now.
Hey, Joe, where you goin’ with that pen in your hand?
Jao’s a systematic, xenophobic, racist Hater.
You’re right...And...Everyone should have to quarantine for two weeks.
Who's the ray-ciss bigot now?
Where are Pelosi and Schumer to encourage Americans to party hearty in close proximity to thousands of dot-not-feathers without masks?
Isn’t that kind of .... RACIST
Tuesday.
I wonder what buddies are getting paid off with big graft to sell seats on airlines.
I hope someone sues these bastards for their racist policies!
WTF do they have against brown people and curry?
Chinese 5th Columnists might well busy as heck, re-infecting the population... in India, their greatest Asian adversary. Don’t let them do that in California... er... too late!
Because travel restrictions have been proved to prevent the spread of covid.
I thought that restricting ANY people from another country was racist and un-Christian, illegal religious persecution (of the Muslims in terrorist-sponsoring countries.)
Of the Chinese when Trump tried to restrict travel from China when THEY had waves of infections in January and February of 2020!
xenophic, racist, anti american, anti indian anti brown people.....
We are in the midst of a crisis with the coronavirus. We need to lead the way with science — not Donald Trump’s record of hysteria, xenophobia, and fear-mongering. He is the worst possible person to lead our country through a global health emergency.— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) February 1, 2020
Xenophobia is a disease. — Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) March 16, 2020
What’s the reason for the delay until now, and then delaying another four days? Makes no sense to me—might as well not do it at all.
Nah, it’s the Mexican cartel stimulus program. India to Mexico City is probably cheaper too.
