Covid-19: stricter measures for travelers entering Tunisia

Starting 1 February 2021, travelers arriving in Tunisia will have to comply with stricter health measures. The purpose is to reduce the spread of Covid-19 in the country.

In this regard, travelers from abroad are required to undergo a mandatory quarantine of one week in one of the hotels dedicated for this purpose. Accommodation expenses will be borne by the traveler.

Upon arrival, the traveler must submit a negative RT-PCR test taken during the 72 hours prior to boarding, a reservation in one of the hotels dedicated to the quarantine and a voucher confirming payment for the stay.

On the seventh day of mandatory quarantine, each person must take an RT-PCR test at their own expense. If the result is negative, the person may leave the hotel while still complying with the health protocol.

It is worth recalling that as at 26 January 2021, the cumulative number of people affected by Covid-19 since the beginning of the pandemic has exceeded 200 000 in Tunisia.
