Pakistan on Monday made the use of masks compulsory while traveling, including on domestic flights, amid a constant spike in Covid-19 cases.
The National Institute of Health issued a new travel advisory directing all authorities to ensure the use of masks on domestic flights and public transport including trains, according to Geo News.
The NIH tweeted: ”After a slight change in Covid-19 cases in some cities, the National Command and Operation Center (NCOC) has recommended mask wearing on all domestic flights, railways and public transport within the country is mandatory. So all citizens are requested to wear a face mask during travel.”
Earlier, the Civil Aviation Authority also issued a new travel advisory for the use of masks on domestic flights.
NIH data showed that the Covid-19 positivity rate in Pakistan was near 3 percent and in the past 24 hours and as many as 382 new cases were registered in the country.
