• Move is to help keep the pandemic under control as cases have begun to fall, said the health ministry Thursday

TUNIS: Tunisia will from Aug. 25 require 10 days of quarantine for visitors who have not been fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
The move is to help keep the pandemic under control as cases have begun to fall, the health ministry said on Thursday.
Effective on Thursday, the North African country relaxed its nightly curfew and allowed cafes and restaurants to remain open until 10 p.m., in a partial easing of restrictions imposed to curb COVID-19 contagion.
The moves come amid a decline in the number of coronavirus infections and a clear increase in vaccination rates.
