Australian citizens stranded in India amid Covid surge allowed to return from May 15 onwards

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said on Friday that citizens of the country who are stranded in India amid a surge in Covid-19 cases will be allowed to return from May 15 onwards.

Australian citizens stranded in Covid-ravaged India will be able to return home from May 15, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said on Friday, as Sydney remains on high alert for a potential outbreak. Morrison stood by his decision to impose a biosecurity order barring flights to and from India, a ban that was backed by potential prosecution and financial penalties.
