UK adds India to travel red list amid surge in Covid cases

由于印度新冠病例激增，英国将印度列入旅行“红色名单”

NEW DELHI: The United Kingdom on Monday added India to its travel 'red list' amid an unrelenting surge in coronavirus cases in the country.

新德里：由于印度新冠病例持续激增，周一，英国将印度列入其旅行“红色名单”。

The decision comes after Britain detected 103 cases of a coronavirus variant first identified in India.

在此之前，英国发现了103例感染了首先在印度发现的变异病毒的病例。

As per the new rules, all arrivals from India have been banned.

根据新规定，所有来自印度的游客均禁止入境。

However, UK and Irish residents who have been in India in the past 10 days are required to mandatorily stay in a government-approved quarantine hotel for 10 days on their return to UK.

过去10天去过印度的英国和爱尔兰居民返回英国后，必须在政府批准的隔离酒店强制隔离10天。

The rules come into force from April 24.

该规定将于4月24日起生效。

"We've made the difficult but vital decision to add India to the Red List. This means anyone who is not a UK or Irish resident or a British citizen cannot enter the UK if they've been in India in the previous 10 days," Britain health minister Matt Hancock told their parliament.

英国卫生大臣马特·汉考克对议会表示：“我们做出了艰难但至关重要的决定，将印度列入红色名单。这意味着任何非英国居民、爱尔兰居民或英国公民，如果他们在此前10天内去过印度，均不能进入英国。”

Confirming the move in House of Commons, Hancock said that the cases of Indian variant identified in Britain has been majorly due to international travels.

汉考克在下议院证实了这一措施，他说，在英国发现的感染印度变种的病例主要是由跨国旅行导致的。

He said that samples of that variant have been analysed to see if the new variant has any "concerning characteristics", such as greater transmissibility or resistance to treatments and vaccines.

他说，已经对该变种的样本进行了分析，以确定该变种是否具有“令人担忧的特征”，例如更强的传播性或对治疗和疫苗的耐药性。

Earlier in the day, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson called off his trip to India for the second time amid a massive surge in Covid cases in the country.

由于印度新冠病例大幅增加。当天早些时候，英国首相鲍里斯·约翰逊第二次取消了访印行程。

其他国家必然会效仿英国的做法。印度人民党及其部长们忙着选 举，放任疫情失控，他们应该感到羞耻

Sad, wish we had educated PM to lead us out of this crisis instead of dividing us for vote bank politics.

悲哀，真希望我们有一位有文化的总理带领我们走出这场危机，而不是为了选 票而分裂我们。

As Boris Johnson has cancelled his trip to India, feku for publicity has informed the UK govt that he would visit the UK instead.... but feku was warned off that his plane will be shot down upon entering the UK airspace.....

由于鲍里斯·约翰逊取消了他的印度之行，莫迪通知英国政府，他将出访英国....但是莫迪收到警告，他的专机一进入英国领空就会被击落.....

Guys please wear masks and get vaccinated ASAP. The faster we control this virus, the faster UK can lift the ban. Kindly avoid negativism.

So far NZ, Oman, HK, UK, UAE have put restriction or complete ban on people coming from India. Many more will be added I guess. NZ actually are not alllowing its own citizens to come back from India.

到目前为止，新西兰、阿曼、香 港、英国、阿联酋都限制或完全禁止印度人入境。我想名单还会增加更多。还有，新西兰不允许从印度回国的本国公民入境。

这个禁令对莫迪来说是一记沉重的耳光，太伤自尊了，2个月前英国第二波疫情爆发时，莫迪没有把英国列入黑名单。

It was incoming as the money and power hungry politicians are only concerned about elections. They do not care about people and economy.

渴求金钱和权力的政客们只关心选 举，他们不关心人民和经济，后果摆在眼前了。

第三世界印度上了很多“红色名单”.....我们是违反签证规定最多的国家…印度护照的受欢迎程度，甚至低于一些非洲国家.....我加入了瑞士国籍，我的印度护照已经是多余的了…

India got this Virus from UK only. India didn't put UK on Red List.... That's why we have this situation now.

印度的病毒是从英国传过来的，印度当时没有把英国列入黑名单，导致我们现在陷入这种处境。

Late step, this should have been done at least 2 weeks ago.

迟了一步，英国至少应该在两周前下令的。

以色列，海湾国家等等几乎已经完成了疫苗接种，为什么我们不能？

Good move. Feku, aka Surrender Modi, must be very disappointed because the travel ban means that he will not be able to continue his world tour this year.

做得好。莫迪一定非常失望，旅行禁令意味着他今年无法继续环游世界了。
