Amid the rise in the number of coronavirus cases in India and its neighbouring country Pakistan, Canada on Friday announced to extend its ban on incoming passenger flights from these two countries by another 30 days. The ban on incoming flights from India and Pakistan will continue till June 21 as part of a campaign to fight COVID-19, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. said on Friday.
The CBC cited a formal Notice to Airmen issued by civil aviation authorities.
Canada last month decided to ban all flights from India and Pakistan for 30 days due to the growing wave of Covid-19 cases in that region.
