Germany has lifted ban on most travellers coming from India, that was hit by the severe wave of the coronavirus disease (Covid-19), led by the delta variant. The changes in the travel advisory come into effect starting Wednesday, German ambassador to India, Walter J Lindner, announced on Tuesday. The changes were done after Germany reclassified India as "high-incidence areas," downgraded from the 'virus variant countries' listing. India saw an explosion in daily Covid-19 cases as it battled the second Covid-19 wave in April-May. India was classified as a virus variant area at the end of April, followed by Nepal and the UK in May.
