India’s foreign minister has been forced to pull out of attending the G7 meeting in London in person after two positive coronavirus cases were detected in the country’s travelling delegation.

Subrahmanyam Jaishankar will participate virtually in the event after coming into contact with the suspected cases, although he has not tested positive.
