The ministry of home affairs, in consultation with ministry of health, made a determination this week that all travelers from India are restricted from entering Lesotho.
This was announced in a statement by the ministry of home affairs, which stated that the notice is effective from May 12.
Lesotho joins many countries that declared a ban on travelers from India as the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic continues to wreak havoc in the country.
This comes after reports indicated that India recorded more than 4,000 Covid-19 deaths for a second straight day on Thursday this week.
They also stated that while infections stayed below 400,000 for a fourth day, the virus has become rampant in rural areas where cases can go unreported due to a lack of testing.
Experts remain unsure when numbers will peak and concern is growing about the transmissibility of the variant that is driving infections in India and spreading worldwide.
