The travel ban will linitially last for two weeks, though it is logical to expect it to be extended if the situation warrants. It will be inconvenient for some families that depend on helpers to help out with most daily routines, but they should be able to cope with the inconvenience. The actual number is irrelevant in the present context - it all boils down to inconvenience, and no more than that. If the pandemic intensifies in south Asia, the travel ban may have to be extended for a longer period. Timely clarifications by regulators here and elsewhere would help ease the concerns and keep vaccinations on track.
