Rwanda has announced it has suspended flights to and from Entebbe International Airport in Uganda with immediate effect.
“Due to a surge in Covid-19 cases in Uganda, RwandAir announces the suspension of its flights to Entebbe effective 10 June 2021, until further notice,” Rwanda’s national carrier said in a statement.
The airline said the affected customers “can rebook and fly at a later date, once flights resume – or request a refund.”
Uganda has seen an upsurge in new confirmed coronavirus cases and deaths in recent days, forcing authorities there to impose a partial lockdown for 42 days.
