Approximately 3,500 UAE nationals depart India – ZAWYA

NEW DELHI - Approximately 3,500 UAE nationals have left India in the wake of the Indian government's imposition of sweeping restrictions in metropolitan areas to contain the spread of coronavirus.. Indian nationals arriving from the UAE and three other GCC states are subject to a compulsory quarantine for 14 days.. The Indian Government has suspended visas that have already been issued to tourists until next month.. The UAE Embassy in New Delhi contacted most of those who left India in light of COVID-19 concerns and discussed their options to return in order to ensure their well-being in light of the uncertainty caused by the global pandemic.. Some UAE citizens had also registered with the 'Twajudi' service upon arrival in India so that Emirati authorities could maintain contact with them..
