Dr Moeed categorically mentioned that Pakistan had had the most responsible policy for air travel.

 

“We tested everyone that came into the country for two and a half months totally at our expense and never complained about positives showing up from other countries,” he noted.

He went on to mention that Pakistan started outbound screening and had asked all passengers to follow travel policies of their destination countries from the very first day of the outbreak.
