Jaishankar meets UK foreign secy, urges 'early resolution' of quarantine rules for vaccinated Indians

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar urged for an "early resolution" of the Covid-19 quarantine rules during his meeting with the newly appointed British Foreign Secretary Elizabeth Truss.

The meeting in New York between Jaishankar and Truss came the same day as the UK announced new Covid-related travel restrictions that sparked sharp criticism and concerns in India.

According to new rules, Indian travellers who have received both doses of the Covishield vaccine manufactured by the Serum Institute of India (SII) will be considered unvaccinated and will have to undergo self-isolation for 10 days.
