A two-week ban on flights from 28 countries, including the UK and Greece, has been announced by Cyprus.
The measure will come into effect from 1am GMT on 21 March, an official statement said. It does not affect cargo flights.
The island has already enacted stringent entry requirements, effective from 16 March, barring anyone into the island, including Cypriots, without a medical certificate that they are clear of coronavirus. Those who do arrive are placed in compulsory quarantine in a government-supervised facility for two weeks.
The east Mediterranean island has reported 49 cases.
