⁍ Travel to and from within continent allowed.
⁍ Travel restricted from high infection countries.
⁍ Government yet to say which countries on restricted list.
– After imposing one of the strictest lockdowns in the world to stop the spread of coronavirus, South Africa is easing up. The country’s cooperative governance minister, Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, said Friday that international travel will be allowed to all African countries as well as other countries where the infection rate is not too high, Reuters reports. For countries outside Africa, the government will determine whether entry is allowed depending on that country’s infection and transmission rate. For now, only airports in Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban will be allowed to operate international flights, according to regulations published in the government gazette on Friday. Dlamini-Zuma said the 18 land borders that were partially operational will now be fully opened but that the 35 borders crossings currently closed will remain closed. “Visa applications in our embassies are now allowed,” she said.
