India’s foreign minister has been forced to pull out of the face-to-face Group of Seven meetings in London after two members of his delegation tested positive for the CCP virus.

Subrahmanyam Jaishankar said on Wednesday he will have to join the G-7 foreign ministers’ meeting online instead of in person.
