NEW DELHI: The Government on Thursday informed Lok Sabha that India has not imposed a total ban on the entry of foreign nationals as part of efforts to check the spread of coronavirus.
Responding to a series of questions by members in Lok Sabha following his statement on COVID-19, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar clarified that “India has not imposed a ban.”
“India has said that if people from certain countries who are coming here, they have to go through quarantine — in certain cases compulsory quarantine and in some cases discretionary quarantine — and Indian citizens who are coming back will obviously come back to quarantine conditions if that is required,” he said.
He was responding to a remark by N K Premchandran of the RSP that “the only country which is imposing a total ban is India.” (AGENCIES)
