ISLAMABAD: The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) Saturday revised rules for domestic and international travel.
According to a notification issued by the National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC), the authority revoked the mandatory requirement of wearing face masks.
“Amid declining COVID-19 trend across the country, mask-wearing as a part of nonpharmaceutical interventions is no longer a mandatory requirement during domestic and international travel; however, still preferable,” the notification read.
In a separate message posted on the CAA's official Twitter handle, the authority mentioned that although a mask is not a must but it is still preferable.
“Please choose to wear a face mask for everyone’s safety,” the poster read.
Earlier in June, CAA had once again imposed this regulation of wearing masks keeping in view the rise in COVID-19 cases in the country.
