List Of 60 Countries That Won’t Be Able To Visit SA For Leisure Purposes During Level 1
Here is a list of 60 Countries That Won’t Be Able To Visit SA For Leisure Purposes During Level 1 as published by the government in a press release that read;
“We need to remind our people that the fact that we are at level 1 lockdown, does not mean that the Covid-19 pandemic is over. We still have to take precautions, and some of them, might be very hard decisions to make. But this will be done in such a way that it strikes a balance between saving lives and livelihoods.
In this regard, the opening of international travel will follow a Risk Adjusted Approach. Earlier today, a list of high risk countries was read at a Press Conference.
