Unvaccinated Pakistanis face strict restrictions
Pakistani authorities have announced strict restrictions on non-vaccinated people in the country, including a ban on boarding domestic and international flights.
Non-vaccinated people will also not be allowed into educational institutions, shopping malls or restaurants as of Friday, said the National Command and Operation Center, Pakistan's anti-virus task force, urging people to get vaccinated before the Friday deadline.
Asad Umar, who heads the nation’s anti-virus strategy, said in a separate statement that the only way to overcome the coronavirus pandemic was to "get a high percentage of citizens vaccinated".
