Lindner through his tweet said that Germany is removing the entry ban and easing travel rules for five countries where the Delta variant is widespread, including India.

Relaxation in Germany's travel rules is indeed great news for hundreds of Indian scholars, engineers, IT professionals, and students who were stuck in India over the last few months.
