The US government has told its citizens to leave the worst pandemic-hit country, India as soon as possible as the Covid-19 is spreading across the country at an alarming rate. In a highest Level 4 travel advisory issued by the State Department, the U.S. citizens were told “not to travel to India or to leave as soon as it is safe to do so.”
According to the Department, there are 14 direct daily flights between India and the U.S. and other services that are connected through Europe. The Travel-State Department tweeted on Wednesday, "Access to medical care is severely limited due to COVID-19 cases. U.S. citizens wishing to depart should use available commercial options now. Daily direct flights to the US and flights via Paris and Frankfurt are available."
