The UK on Sunday eased travel restrictions for India by moving the country from its "red" to "amber" list, which means fully vaccinated Indian passengers will no longer be subjected to a compulsory 10-day hotel quarantine on their arrival in Britain.
The Department of Health and Social Care said that from now all arrivals from India who have been vaccinated in India are required to isolate at home or their designated location mentioned on the compulsory locator form.
