India’s entire delegation to the G7 visiting London this week has been forced to self-isolate, after several of them tested positive for coronavirus. That will be the case with the G7 meeting today as well.”The two ministers’ meeting was a private one outside the G7 and Jaishankar was not among the India delegates who tested positive. While not part of the G7, India was invited by the UK to join talks a guest. The preliminary series of G7 meetings was called before the full summit in Cornwall next month. Meanwhile, it was revealed that surge testing for the India variant was not being carried out in England, despite the government claiming it would be.
