The health care system in India is collapsing amid an overwhelming spike in COVID-19 cases, with officials reporting more than 3,500 deaths and 400,000 new infections within the last 24 hours. Starting Tuesday, May 4, 2021, flights will be restricted for travelers between India and the United States, in an effort to keep the main COVID-19 variant in India from spreading to the U.S. NBC’s Molly Hunter reports for Weekend TODAY, in the video published on May 1, 2021, “US To Restrict Travel To And From India Amid Overwhelming COVID-19 Infection Rate | TODAY“, below: India has become the first country to report more than 400,000 new coronavirus cases in a single day, in the video published on May 1, 2021, “India first country to record 400,000 daily Covid cases –  BBC News“, below: On Friday, April 30, 2021, Australia announced that it would ban its own citizens from returning to Australia from India due to the severity of the outbreak.
