Oman bans events, foreign travel

Oman on Wednesday prohibited all group events, postponed students’ return to universities and advised citizens and residents against foreign travel, in a tightening of measures against the Covid-19 coronavirus, state media said.

The ban on gatherings include international conferences, sports events and exhibitions, state news agency ONA said, citing a decision by the Gulf state’s coronavirus emergency committee.

Oman closed its land borders ten days ago.
