UAE suspends entry of travellers from 7 southern African nations – The National

The UAE has suspended the entry of travellers from seven southern Africa countries due to concerns over a new Covid-19 variant.

The decision, which comes into effect on November 29, will affect passengers who have travelled through South Africa, Namibia, Lesotho, Eswatini, Zimbabwe, Botswana or Mozambique over the past 14 days.

The General Civil Aviation Authority and the National Emergency Crisis and Disasters Emergency Management Authority made the announcement on Friday.
