Petition Action

Remove Pakistan, Bangladesh and Africa from the "red list"

Petition Details

We wish that Government should publish the criteria through which they decide on such important decisions, impacting millions. Government should remove Pakistan, Bangladesh and Africa from the red list based on the lower infection and death rate.

Additional Information

The government decided to keep Pakistan, Bangladesh and African countries on the red list despite having the lowest infection/death rates whereas chosen India to be on the grey list, neglected all the seriousness of the Delta variant

Decisions like this impact millions and a clear understanding is important to build confidence that the government is deciding based on scientific data not on political affiliation and economic interest
Publicly available data does not support government decisions.
