The government has extended restrictions on inbound travellers from the United Kingdom to Pakistan until January 4 due to the new variant of the coronavirus circulating in Britain.

The ban imposed by the National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC) last week was meant to last until the midnight of December 29.

But a communique sent by the Civil Aviation Authority to airlines today said the restrictions will remain in place till Jan 4, 2021, 2359 hours. It added that the restrictions may be reviewed for further extension/revision at an appropriate time.
