Transport Canada is extending the ban on incoming flights from India and Pakistan for another month.
The flight ban that began April 22 was set to expire on Saturday.
A notice posted on the Nav Canada website says the extension is ordered by Transport Minister Omar Alghabra.
It says the ministry believes barring flights from those two countries for another month is necessary to protect the public.
Transport Minister Omar Alghabra says it will be extended until June 21st.
The ban has cut down the number of international flights arriving in Canada with at least one passenger who later tests positive for COVID-19.
