AKIPRESS.COM - Kazakhstan will restrict flights to South Korea and Iran due to coronavirus threats and urges its citizens to return home country until March 1, chief sanitary doctor Zhandarbek Bekshin said. Chairman of the civil aviation committee of the Ministry of Industry Talgat Lastayev earlier told that Kazakhstan might suspend flights to and from a number of coronavirus-hit countries.
The government, he said, is considering the opportunity to suspend flights to countries where the number of coronavirus positive people is big. Those are South Korea and south-east Asian countries, according to him.
A full list of countries will be determined by the Ministry of Health, Lastayev said at the briefing on February 25.
