Pakistan’s National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC) has said it will forbid domestic air travel for citizens yet to be vaccinated against the coronavirus disease (Covid-19). In a statement, the NCOC said the restriction will come into effect from August 1 and all unvaccinated citizens who are above the age of 18 will come under it.

“Restriction is for domestic air travel. However, people travelling from Pakistan from abroad or arriving in Pakistan from a foreign country are exempted from this restriction. It is also not applicable to link flights if these are within 72 hours of arrival or departure,” an NCOC document stated.

Additionally, according to the document, exemptions will also be applicable to partially vaccinated people, foreign nationals, Pakistani nationals with documentary proof they were vaccinated abroad, and patients with clinical conditions.

The National Command and Operation Centre was formed in April 2020 as a principal body governing Pakistan’s national Covid-19 efforts.

Meanwhile, the country’s cumulative Covid-19 infection tally has crossed the 1 million mark, as 2819 more people tested positive in the last 24 hours, taking the overall caseload to 1,004,694, the Ministry of National Health Services said on Sunday. According to the ministry’s data, 45 more people succumbed due to the viral disease in this period, taking the death toll past the 23,000-mark to 23,016.

Also, the latest positivity rate was recorded at 6.32%, which is the highest during what is called Pakistan’s fourth wave of the coronavirus pandemic, which hit the country in the early days of July.
