Is it safe to travel to India amid rising cases of COVID-19?

India recently saw a surge in COVID-19 cases, and it caused a lot of cities to go into a state of lockdown. The financial capital of India, Mumbai also saw a rise, and it raised a lot of questions amongst natives as well as worldwide travelers. Is it safe to travel to India?

Now before we address this issue, let’s understand that as India is over-populated, the number of cases will rise. The virus is still there, and infections are happening as people are not following the mandatory guidelines of mask and social distancing. We need to understand that the situation is not just happening in India, but it is happening everywhere in the world where the guidelines have not adhered to.

India imposed its lockdown in 2020, and it curbed the impact and spread of the virus to an extent. The front-line warriors and other support staff’s efforts made this curb in cases a reality. People stepped out without following the guidelines, which contributed to the surge in the COVID numbers. Does the increase in numbers mean that you shouldn’t travel to the country?

Plan your travel to the country, and before you travel, do get your preliminary checks done. Follow the guidelines by the respective authorities, and ensure that you wear a mask. Do maintain social distancing when in a public space. India is a country that has provided various other countries with its vaccine. If you have any questions, you can always ask the Ministry through social media platforms. The departments are working round the clock to provide users with relevant information.

You can be rest assured that with an efficient team working round the clock, you are in safe hands even if you contract the virus through someone else. India is a country that has fought through various problems and has emerged victorious.
