To prevent the spread of the coronavirus, given the increase in the number of imported and local contaminations, a series of new measures were taken, during a working session held on Tuesday, under the chairmanship of caretaker prime minister Elyes Fakhfakh. The meeting was held in the presence of the Acting Minister of Health, Habib Kchaou and a number of medical executives.
This is how France, Belgium and Iceland, classified as green, now switch to orange. This new classification obliges people coming from these countries to present an assigned PCR test 72 hours before the date of departure and not exceeding 120 hours on their arrival in Tunisia. These same people will have to self-confine.
It was also decided to impose the wearing of masks in airports, train stations, the port of La Goulette, hospitals and clinics, as well as in large retail outlets.
The government has also called for a ban on hookah in enclosed spaces and an increase in the number of control campaigns in enclosed recreational spaces.
