Tunisia-[Audio]Measures taken to prevent the spread of the South African COVID variant in Tunisia

Speaking to Tunisie Numérique, General lockdown Commission director Mohamed Rebhi said that various preventive measures have been adopted to prevent the spread of the South African variant of the coronavirus.

 

As of now, it is obligatory to present a health pass and a negative PCR test (carried out for 48 hours) for all non-residents aged 6 and over wishing to access Tunisian territory. Those who are not vaccinated will be obliged to observe a mandatory quarantine period at their own account, he added.

 

Concerning the border closure, Rebhi revealed that it is the scientific committee that decides whether or not such a measure is adopted, remarking that the strategy to fight the virus varies depending on the circumstances.
