Coronavirus: Bahrain confirms flight scheduled for return of its citizens in Qatar

Bahrain confirms a flight has been scheduled for Sunday to bring back its citizens currently in Doha after they recently returned from Iran, Bahrain News Agency reported citing the Kingdom’s National Communication Centre, adding that Qatar “must stop interfering” with such arrangements.
“The NCC stressed that the Qatari authorities should stop interfering with these flights through their scheduling of commercial flights, as doing so exposes not only the travelers to health risks posed by the outbreak of COVID-19 but also the crews of repatriation aircraft and anyone present at the airports where those flights transit, adding that they lack the necessary precautionary measures recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO),” the statement on BNA read.
