The United Kingdom on Thursday decided to put India on the 'amber list' from 'red list' on August 8.
As per the UK government's official website, India will be moved to the amber list on 4 am, Sunday, August 8 (local time).
Earlier in the month of April, the United Kingdom added India to its travel "red list".
If Indian travellers plan to go to the UK for whatever purpose, they must follow amber list rules.
