UK hasn’t removed Pakistan from ‘red list’

Karachi: A Pakistani TV channel on Sunday claimed that the United Kingdom has removed Pakistan from its travel ban “red list”.

The Bol News report is incorrect as no such decision has been taken by the authorities in the UK.

The incorrect report came hours after media in the UK said Pakistan was added to the travel ban list after a large number of people travelled to the South Asian country where they reportedly attended weddings amid the rising number of coronavirus cases.

Most of the people who travelled from the UK to Pakistan had arrived in Lahore and other parts of Punjab.

Pakistan on Saturday reported the highest number of coronavirus cases since the deadly outbreak began.
