(ANSA) – TOKYO, NOV 28 – Japan adds three other African countries to the list of nations for which the quarantine obligation began on Saturday, after the discovery of the new variant of Covid-19, originating in South Africa.
The countries are Mozambique, Malawi and Zambia, and are added to Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Namibia and Zimbabwe, as well as South Africa itself.
“The government responds urgently to the risk of the virus spreading, and we will do everything in our power to better control the borders,” said Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. Travelers from the nine countries will be subjected to a 10-day period of quarantine in facilities set up by the health authorities, during which three swabs will be performed: on the third and sixth day and at the end of isolation.
