Australia on Tuesday suspended all immediate traveler departures from India for the following three weeks because of the exceptional spike in COVID-19 cases, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said.
The respite on appearances would be reconsidered before May 15, Morrison said.
The choice was taken during a gathering of Cabinet's public safety council to consider the transition to incidentally limit departures from India alongside what gear and help could be sent.
The flight suspension is relied upon to influence non-stop trips to Sydney and two bringing home flights planned to show up in Darwin, The Sydney Morning Herald detailed.
There are around 9,000 Australians in India who are enlisted with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade as needing to get back, the report said.
India is battling with a second influx of the pandemic with in excess of 3,00,000 day by day new Covid cases being accounted for in the previous few days, and clinics in a few states are reeling under a lack of clinical oxygen and beds. On Monday, the nation recorded 3,52,991 cases on Monday, the most noteworthy up until this point.
