France to impose entry restrictions on travellers from India

The restrictions come in addition to those previously announced regarding four other countries -- Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Brazil -- that will be implemented starting from Saturday.

France is also requiring more stringent testing for the coronavirus on travellers from these countries, who will need to pass a mandatory antigen test upon their arrival, in addition to a pre-boarding PCR test. Attal said Wednesday that daily numbers of new infections are tending to decrease in the country -- yet they still reach more than 30,000 people per day on average. With almost 6,000 COVID-19 patients in intensive care units and hospitals close to capacity, Attal said France may be close to reaching a "peak.""The epidemic is decreasing twice as slow as in November especially due to the English variant," he said. "The pressure on hospitals is extremely strong.

fordnation JohnTory there are CONNECTING Flights COMING from the severely affected countries too like India and so. If only direct flights? Won’t help that much containing it!

Why has Canada not followed suit?

CrimesAgainstHumanity

Unless they are Canadian citizens coming home, Canada needs to shut down all flights from India. My aunt works at an airport and she says that those coming in from India always test positive for the virus

Wow even the French are smarter than Trudeau

Helllooooo.....Justin.....yoooohooooooo

Makes sense for Canada to do this.

When is Canada going to do this? When it's too late, as usual?

Well would ya look at that JustinTrudeau You bloody idiot

That's racist.

Why the heck can’t people sit still...can people not travel for a few months just so these variants can stop spreading

Meanwhile in Canada............

Overpopulated countries should not be allowed to spill over into others.

Won't they be offended! Isn't this racist?

Ouch!
