Oman will only allow citizens and residents to enter the Sultanate from April 8 following an increase in COVID-19 cases that is pressuring the health care system, the country’s coronavirus committee said on Monday.
It also urged citizens and residents to travel outside the Sultanate unless it is absolutely necessary, especially as many countries have tightened travel procedures. The committee also recommended limiting travel outside the Sultanate of official missions.
The committee also extended an evening ban on all commercial activities until the end of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, which is due to start in mid-April this year, according to a statement on state media.
A curfew imposed on March 28 on movement of vehicles and people outdoors between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. would be lifted, as scheduled, on April 8 but would be reinstated during the month of Ramadan from 9 p.m. to 4 a.m., the statement added.
