The Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority has instructed airlines not to board passengers from Category C (banned) countries.
In a notification issued on Thursday, the authority stated that only passengers who have been granted exemptions will be allowed to enter the country.
“It has come to light that some passengers have been attempting to travel to Pakistan using fake exemption letters forged by local entities in Category C countries,” CAA wrote. This not only endangers the national drive against the spread of Covid-19 but also poses a serious risk of transmission of the virus in Pakistan, it added.
