All incoming passengers including those fully vaccinated will be required, from October 27, to present a negative PCR test of less than 72 hours to enter the Tunisian territory, said the Health Ministry.

The Ministry indicated in a statement this procedure, which does not concern children under 12 years, comes after the development of the global epidemiological situation related to the COVID-19 pandemic and the rise in number of positive cases and deaths in some countries, besides the emergence of a sub-variant of the «Delta’» variant.

It was also decided to subject all incoming travelers, who have not completed the vaccination, including those coming for tourist trips, to a mandatory quarantine in one of the centers dedicated to this purpose.
