Oman will enforce a ban on the access of tourists from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, as coronavirus cases in the three countries are constantly going up.
It has been decided by Oman’s supreme committee for coronavirus just yesterday. According to the committee, the ban will be effective from April 24. Those who have travelled through these countries in the two weeks before coming to Oman are also barred from entrance.
“The ban begins at 6 pm on Saturday, 24 April 2021, and continues till further notice. This is with the exception of arriving passengers who are Omani citizens, diplomats, health workers and their families. The exempted groups will undergo the prescribed entry procedures when they reach the Sultanate’s land,” read the press release given out by the committee.
In the three countries, India has currently the maximum number of coronavirus cases over the past few months or so, as the third wave of the virus exaggerates all over the country.
The country has had over 2,000 deaths from COVID-19 in the last 24 hours, the peak single-day count for the country so far, health ministry figures revealed on Wednesday. The total demises have gone up to 182,553 in India, ever since the pandemic knocked out the country.
