After tit for tat, UK recognises Serum Institute of India's Covishield, junks ‘discriminatory’ order

印度“以牙还牙”之后，英国承认印度血清研究所的Covishield疫苗，取消“歧视性”命令

NEW DELHI: From October 11, Indians who have been fully vaccinated with WHO-approved Covishield will not be required to undergo the mandatory 10-day quarantine on arrival in the UK, ending a standoff between the two countries.

新德里：从10月11日起，已接种世界卫生组织批准的Covishield疫苗的印度人在抵达英国时将不再被要求进行10天的强制隔离，此举结束了两国之间的僵局。

The travellers who have had their second doses — of Covishield or another UK-approved vaccine — at least 14 days before landing in the UK will not be required to take a pre-departure Covid test or the day 8 test following their arrival.

在抵达英国前至少14天已经接种了第二剂疫苗Covishield（或另一种英国批准的疫苗)的旅客将不需要在出发前进行新冠检测或抵达后第8天进行新冠检测。

The UK government on Thursday released a statement reducing the number of ‘red list’ countries to seven and said cleared travellers only needed to take a Covid test on day 2, which also can be the less expensive “lateral flow” test instead of an RT-PCR test.

英国政府周四发布了一份声明，将“红色名单”国家的数量减少到7个，并表示获准入境的旅客只需要在入境第2天进行新冠检测，这也是比RT-PCR检测更便宜的“横向流”检测。

The decision came hours after MEA spokesperson Arindam Bagchi described the UK’s earlier decision to quarantine fully vaccinated Indians as “discriminatory”.

在英国做出这一决定的几个小时前，印度外交部发言人Arindam Bagchi称英国早些时候要求接种过疫苗的印度人进行全面隔离的决定是“歧视性的”。

British high commissioner to India Alex Ellis tweeted on Thursday night: “No quarantine for Indian travellers to UK fully vaccinated with Covishield or another UK-approved vaccine from October 11. Thanks to Indian government for close cooperation over last month.”

英国驻印度高级专员亚Alex Ellis周四晚上在推特上说：“从10月11日起，已经接种了Covishield或其他英国批准的疫苗的印度游客前往英国不再需要隔离。感谢印度政府上个月的密切合作。”
