Oman will begin allowing its citizens and residents to fly outside of the country as long as they quarantine upon their return, the Health Ministry said Tuesday. 

Oman is also returning ex-pats to their home countries in 17 repatriation flights this week to India, Pakistan, Egypt, Germany and Greece, according to the Times of Oman newspaper. With the exception of repatriation flights, all international flights out of Oman were halted on March 29.
