South Africa Scraps COVID 19 Rules
According to a government gazette, South Africa’s Health Minister Joe Phaahla has lifted all of the nation’s remaining coronavirus-related restrictions.
The wearing of masks, restrictions on gathering sizes, and border inspections for COVID-19 are a few of these. According to a statement dated June 20, Phaahla requested earlier this week that the limits be lifted in light of the decrease in hospitalizations and reported cases.
The main modification for visitors is the termination of South Africa’s entry vaccine and testing procedures, but there have also been changes to the nation’s indoor mask regulations, gathering size restrictions, and COVID-19 border inspections.
In a statement, South African Tourism said that as the sector’s custodians, they believed that the lifting of the limitations would help the industry quickly return to its pre-pandemic levels of profitability and visitor arrivals.
