Zahid Hafeez Chaudhry, Pakistan Foreign Office spokesperson, said Islamabad is in contact with UAE authorities on the issue of flight ban from Pakistan to UAE as the number of coronavirus cases in the country have considerably decreased in the recent past.
“Hopefully, the UAE will update its travel advisory about Pakistan soon,” Chaudhry told Pakistan’s Geo News.
Pakistan has continued to report major fall in the number of daily Covid-19 cases, the National Command and Operation Center (NCOC) said.
In its latest update, the NCOC said there were 735 new infections in the last 24 hours, which marked the lowest single-day spike since October 25, 2020 when 707 cases were registered.
The NCOC, the body leading Pakistan's campaign against the pandemic, said the total tally of confirmed cases has risen to 956,392 in the country, including 901,985 recoveries.
