India has pretty much done away with quarantine. We're trying really hard to hit the 1 lakh cases / day mark.

i think india has pretty much given up....i drove from delhi to allahabad earlier this week & passed by many towns & villages, including a larger city like lucknow....under 10% of the people were wearing masks & it seemed like no one was bothered with covid anymore....
with the way things are going we will be there in another couple of weeks....maybe even sooner....
