India is a very difficult situation so that it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a corona hell. There are 300,000-400,000 confirmed cases a day. The outbreak of outbreaks on flights departing from India and arriving in Italy also strengthened Italy's blockade to neighboring countries. The US State Department has advised its citizens to leave India.

People entering the arrival hall immediately go to a temporary inspection station at the airport to be tested for Corona 19.



Corona 19 tests were conducted on 220 passengers who left India and arrived in Italy on the 28th of the local time, of which 23 were confirmed to be confirmed.



Entry from India has been banned since the 25th, but only residents of Italy were allowed to enter the country by submitting a negative verification certificate, and the infection was confirmed after entry.



The Italian government has checked for mutated viruses and has increased restrictions on entry to neighboring countries, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, following India.



In Israel, where more than 50% of the nation has lifted the duty of outdoor masks by vaccination, 41 cases of mutant virus infection originating from India have been confirmed, increasing tensions.



In particular, there are 17 local infections, and 4 of the infected have already been confirmed to be vaccinated.
