As global travel has started to open up, SAPM Moeed Yusuf has said that the government will start extensive screening of outgoing passengers.

He advised citizens who were planning to fly abroad, to study the policy of the country they were headed to and make sure they fulfilled all conditions. Several countries have made it compulsory for all passengers to quarantine themselves for 14 days.

"Don't travel unless you are sure that you are completely fine," he said, adding that if a Pakistani citizen tests positive in a foreign country that made it compulsory for passengers to get tested before travelling, it would become a "diplomatic issue" for the government.

The government has also allowed all airlines to fly into Pakistan.
