Dhaka : Passengers Europe, except the UK, and 12 others countries have been banned to enter Bangladesh till April 18, said the Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh in a notice. 
Besides Europe, the 12 other countries that will not be allowed to enter Bangladesh are Argentina, Bahrain, Brazil, Chile, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Peru, Qatar, South Africa, Turkey and Uruguay.
The move follows CAAB's continuous review of the ongoing coronavirus spread in the country and globally that makes it risky to let passengers from the aforementioned countries, highly affected by the new strain of coronavirus, enter Bangladesh.   
Once the weeklong flight suspension in Bangladesh ends, airlines operating scheduled passenger flights from all those countries will be allowed to carry only transit passengers to Bangladesh subject to the conditions that the passengers remain confined inside the terminal building only.
Earlier, CAAB issued another circular which made it mandatory for European and UK arrivals to go through 14 days institutional quarantine until further notice. Negative PCR based Covid-19 test certificate will also be compulsory to be allowed in the country once the flight suspension ends. 
Passengers from the other countries with negative Covid-19 certificate can opt for home quarantine but that too for 14 days.
