DUSHANBE, March 2 (Reuters) - The government of Tajikistan
has instructed airlines and travel agencies to stop selling
tickets to nationals of 35 countries including the United
States, Britain, China, Japan and Iran, industry sources said on
Monday.
In a letter to the companies cited by three industry
sources, the Civil Aviation Agency warned them that passengers
from those countries would be turned away at the border - the
most robust measure taken so far by any of the Central Asian
nations in order to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
The agency and the former Soviet republic's foreign ministry
could not be immediately reached for comment.
The list includes countries in Asia, North America, Middle
East, and Africa, all of which have reported coronavirus cases.
