Sudan to remove travel ban on countries with new coronavirus strain

The country imposed the ban on December 23 due to the discovery of a new variant of the coronavirus in the three countries.

Instead of the ban, travellers from the three countries have to quarantine for 14 days after arriving in Sudan, and must report any disease symptoms to health officials, the authority said.

All travellers coming from abroad must have a certificate showing a negative test for Covid-19 issued within 72 hours of travel, it added.
