According to a notification by the Prime Minister's Office, the government has allowed resumption of international flight operations at Karachi, Lahore, Multan, Faisalabad, Quetta and Peshawar airports from April 5.

The government had banned all incoming international flight operations and even suspended domestic travel as newer cases of the coronavirus emerged each day.

The notification further said that all passengers brought to the country will be screened and suspected patients will be quarantined at designated hotels.

Dr Yusuf had said that depending on a ‘case to case basis’, if any country requests a flight to take back its citizens, then it will be discussed.
