Accept Covishield, Covaxin or face mandatory quarantine, India tells European Union’s

The European Union’s tardiness in accepting the Indian-made vaccines has triggered a face-off.

Sources in the Indian foreign ministry said India will institute a reciprocal policy on recognition of vaccination certificates, reports the NDTV.

This would mean that unless the European Union accepts Indian vaccine certificates, their certificates will not be accepted in the country either.

People coming from the EU will face mandatory quarantine upon arrival in India.

Covishield and Covaxin must be notified in the European Union’s digital Covid certificate, EU has been told, sources said.
