South Africa opens its borders to all travellers!

South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa announced during an address to the nation on 11 November 2020 that the country is opening up international travel to all countries subject to the necessary health protocols and the presentation of a negative Covid-19 certificate that was obtained not more than 72 hours before the date of travel. By using rapid antigen tests for Covid-19 detection and strict monitoring the South African Government intends to limit the spread of the infection through importation. The amendment to the "Disaster Management Act, 2002" came into effect at 00:01 on 12 November 2020.
