"travel-ban"

New Zealand on Thursday temporarily suspended entry for all travellers from India following a surge in COVID-19 cases arriving from there, local media reported.

The ban will commence on Sunday and will remain in place until April 28, New Zealand Herald reported.

The travel restrictions and a ban on inbound passengers from 12 countries will remain effective from March 23 to April 5.

The Biden administration also aims a new bill that would provide 11 million undocumented immigrants with a pathway to citizenship and an eight-year waiting period before they can become permanent residents, according to a report in Politico.
