I Can't See How Having India In Red List Will Help: Dr Amit Gupta
Published On: August 3, 2021 | Duration: 3 MIN, 25 SEC
At the NDTV’s special #UnlockEducation show, Dr Amit Gupta, Paediatrician and Neonatologist from Oxford John Radcliffe Hospital says that the reason behind UK’s quarantine rules for India students remains unclear. He further says that the issue is not with Covishield but with the fact that UK has divided countries into different lists of COVID-19 outbreak, and India happens to be in the Red list.

About The Campaign
#UnlockEducation is a campaign on the NDTV network to help Indian students cover some of the costs of the mandatory 10-day self-quarantine accommodation on arrival, in the UK, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The goal of this project is to ensure that the most needy students, particularly those on scholarships and on student loans are able to afford the compulsory Rs. 2 lakh expense towards the 10-day compulsory quarantine in a UK government managed facility for those students arriving from a Red List country, like India. Students travelling to other countries in Europe or elsewhere, who face similar self-paid quarantine because the acceptance of the Covishield vaccine has been delayed, are also eligible to apply for financial assistance through this scheme.
The scheme will continue to cover some of the costs of students in 10-day self-quarantine accommodation if India moves from the UK's Red List to the Amber list.
