Earlier, Pakistan, like many other countries, has imposed temporary restrictions on travellers to the UK over pandemic concerns.
A notification issued by the Aviation Division of the Cabinet Secretariat said that the NCOC meeting had imposed a temporary ban on passengers coming from the UK from the night of December 22 to the night of December 29 in view of the new coronavirus in the UK. The ban will apply to all passengers coming directly and indirectly from the UK.
The notification said the ban would also apply to passengers who have been in the UK for 10 days, but would not apply to passengers arriving on a transit flight from the UK.
Several EU countries and Canada have previously banned travel to the UK, and others are considering similar measures to prevent a new strain of coronavirus from spreading to the continent in southern England. ۔
France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Ireland and Bulgaria have announced travel bans to the UK.
