Greece will allow in travellers from the southern African region only for essential reasons and after negative testing amid rising concern about a new COVID-19 variant detected in South Africa, its health ministry said on Friday.
All travellers from South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Lesotho, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Eswatini, Zambia and Malawi will undergo a second test upon their arrival to the country and will be quarantined for 10 days, the ministry said in a statement.
There are no direct flights from Greece to those countries.
