South Africa’s travel ban commences - The Mail & Guardian

has said that travellers arriving from countries classified by the World Health Organisation as high risk will be banned from entering South Africa from today , as the travel restriction commences.

The ban was instituted by President Cyril Ramaphosa on Sunday as a means to curb the spread of the Covid-19. South Africa has imposed travel bans on people from countries that have been heavily impacted by Covid-19, including China, Germany, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States. Mbalula said the travel restriction will provide the aviation entities with powers to decline authorisations for aircraft to land.

“It’s important to note that quarantine will be based on travel history and not nationality,” said Mbalula. The minister added that the aviation industry is one of the high-risk subsectors of transport because it enables high levels of mobility and, by extension, the rapid spread of the coronavirus.

Why still allowing travelers , only Citizens must be allowed.
