The United States this week announced that it has eased travel restrictions for India and moved the country to Level 2. This means India is now considered safe by the US government when it comes to the COVID situation.

"Your risk of contracting COVID-19 and developing severe symptoms may be lower if you are fully vaccinated with an FDA authorised vaccine. Before planning any international travel, please review the CDC's specific recommendations for vaccinated and unvaccinated travellers,” said the US State Department.
