The new travel advisory of Level 2, which is considered as safe, came in the wake of the significant improvement in the Coronavirus (COVID-19) situation in India.

Early this year, the US had put India in Level 4, asking its citizens not to travel to India, which at that point of time was experiencing an unprecedented second wave of COVID-19.

"Your risk of contracting COVID-19 and developing severe symptoms may be lower if you are fully vaccinated with an FDA authorised vaccine. Before planning any international travel, please review the CDC's specific recommendations for vaccinated and unvaccinated travellers," the State Department said.

They have also been advised not to travel within 10 km of the India-Pakistan border due to the potential for armed conflict.
