Greece and Switzerland Will Permit Restriction-Free Entry to All Travellers From May

HARARE – Zimbabwe will resume domestic flights on Thursday and international flights on Oct 1 as the government steps up efforts to revive tourism, one of the sectors hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Information Minister Monica Mutsvangwa told a post-cabinet media briefing on Tuesday that all travelers will be required to have COVID-19 clearance certificates issued by a recognized facility within 48 hours from the date of departure in line with the World Health Organization guidelines, among other health and safety regulations.

“Standard operating procedures have been put in place for the reopening of international and some domestic airports. The National Guidelines for Aviation Safety and Security have been developed by the Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe to ensure the safety of travelers and airport staff,” Mutsvangwa said.

Having closed its airports and other ports of entry in March due to the pandemic, the government last week fully re-opened the tourism sector after five months of closure.

The government said the tourism sector is expected to contract by 7.4 percent in 2020 due to the economic fallout from the pandemic.

As of Tuesday, Zimbabwe has recorded 7,388 COVID-19 cases, 5,477 recoveries and 218 deaths.
