South Africa Fully Open Borders for International Travellers

On the evening of the 11th local time, South African President Ramaphosa said in a televised speech that South Africa will be open to all international travelers from now on.

Those who enter South Africa only need to provide a nucleic acid negative test report for COVID-19 within 72 hours before entering the country. The South African border pandemic prevention department will also monitor the health of travelers.

If travelers have symptoms such as fever and cough, they need to undergo nucleic acid testing at the South African border at their own expense. If the test results are positive, the travelers will undergo a 10-day centralized quarantine observation by the government.

In recent days, the pandemic in South Africa has slowed down. The number of newly confirmed cases in a single day has dropped from about 20,000 at the peak of the pandemic to about 2,000.

 According to the experience of global pandemic prevention, warmer weather may be an important reason for slowing down the spread of the virus. Many experts and people expressed concern about the government’s measures to stimulate the tourism industry, and believe that it may bring about future pandemic prevention and control in South Africa. Come more pressure.
