Travellers from Dubai and the UK were the primary sources of COVID-19 importations into India, the study published in the Journal of Travel Medicine stated. The study has also found that infected cases from Tamil Nadu, Delhi and Andhra Pradesh played a smaller role in spreading the disease outside their communities.
