UAE suspends all flights from Pak as Covid-19 cases cross 200,000: Report
The UAE has temporarily suspended all incoming flights from Pakistan until it sets up a special COVID-19 lab to test the travellers from the country, according to media reports.
On Monday, Pakistan’s coronavirus infection tally crossed the 2 lakh-mark after 3,557 fresh cases were reported during the last 24 hours.
As the number of coronavirus cases went up in Pakistan, the UAE has decided to not receive passengers coming from Pakistan from June 29 until a special COVID-19 lab is set up to test them. The decision would also apply to transit flights originating from Pakistan, the Express Tribune reported.
The decision by the UAE’s General Civil Aviation Authority came after Dubai-state carrier Emirates already suspended services from Pakistan from June 24.
