He added that the government’s focus this week would be on the United States after PIA was allowed to operate flights. He said the government has requested to Middle Eastern countries to have the passengers tested before boarding. But the passengers will also be tested upon arrival in Pakistan.
According to the new policy introduced by the government, Yousaf said that every Pakistani who returns to the country from abroad will immediately undergo a test at the quarantine center or at the hotel after landing. So no wait for 48 hours as it is currently done.
