After Saudi Arabia, Oman delays reopening of borders
Oman decided to extend the closure of land borders till February 8. Earlier, Saudi Arabia also took a similar decision. According to a report in Khaleej Times, the gulf country’s coronavirus emergency committee took this decision to contain the spread of the virus.
The country’s land borders were closed on January 19 amid concerns over the new variant of coronavirus prevailing in some parts of the world. Earlier, Saudi Arabia had also delayed the reopening of the Kingdom’s air, land, and sea borders completely till May 17.
Meanwhile, a consignment of India-made vaccines arrived in Muscat on Saturday. “Made in India vaccines arrive in Muscat. Reflects a deep friendship, spanning millennia,” the External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar wrote on Twitter.
