Ottawa: Canada has said it would temporarily ban passenger flights from India and Pakistan for 30 days from Thursday amid rising coronavirus cases in the two countries.
At a virtual press conference on Thursday, Canadian Transport Minister Omar Alghabra said that because an increasing number of travellers from both countries have been arriving in Canada with COVID-19, all commercial and private passenger flights from those countries will be barred as of 11:30 pm tonight (Thursday), Canada’s CBC reported.
