British and Irish nationals arriving in the UK from India must quarantine in a government-approved hotel, as new Covid travel curbs come into force.
India joined the UK's "red list" on Friday, effectively banning travel.
The country has seen soaring infection rates, a rapidly rising death toll and the discovery of a new virus variant.
Travel to the UK is banned for people who have been in red-list countries in the past 10 days, except UK citizens and those with residency rights.
There are 40 countries on the government's red list across the Middle East, Africa, Asia and South America. Countries can be added to the list with just a few hours' notice.
There are specific rules for people arriving in each UK nation, including England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales.
