UAE has banned its citizens from travelling to various countries.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has barred its citizens from traveling to various countries including India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka.
This announcement comes after the UAE last month extended the travel ban on passengers from 14 countries until July 21 in view of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Foreign Ministry and the National Emergency, Crisis and Disaster Management Authority mentioned that, "with the start of the travel season, citizens need to comply with all precautionary and preventive measures related to Covid-19", reported by The Express Tribune.
In a notice issued to Airmen (NOTAM), UAE's General Civil Aviation Authority, said "flights from 14 countries, includes Liberia, Namibia, Sierra Leone, Democratic Republic Of Congo, Uganda, Zambia, Vietnam, India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Nigeria and South Africa, will remain suspended until 23:59 hours of July 21, 2021."
Although, cargo flights, as well as business and charter flights, would be exempted from the restrictions.
The UAE authorities also instructed UAE citizens to adhere to self-isolation if they get Covid-19 positive during their travel, and to ensure compliance with all instructions, requirements and health protocols applied by their host countries.
