It came as a surprise for the whole community which had, apparently started wondering how it will end, until yesterday when country decided to suspend flights for an initial 30 days. This will take effect on Friday March 20,2020 from 23.59PM. However, this does not affect cargo and emergency planes.

The suspension of flights followed the closure of schools and religious assemblies for an initial period of two weeks and later on, any kind of entertainment, all in line with containing the spread of covid-19.

The country is however still on the battle.
