DJIBOUTI (HORN OBSERVER) The Government of Djibouti has set July 18 as the new date for the resumption of international flights suspended in March due to the outbreak of Covid-19 epidemic.
Djibouti has registered 5,003 cases of Coronavirus and 56 deaths forcing the tiny Horn of African nation to impose restrictions to stop the spread of the virus. The government now says new cases declined in recent times and more people have recovered.
Mohamed Muse Ahmed, Djibouti's transport minister, said on Friday that international flights will resume on Saturday 18 July.
"New cases have frequently dropped. We declare that international flights will resume tomorrow Saturday," the Minister of Transport said.
Djibouti's air travel ban has led to a sharp decline in the country's economy, the transport minister said.
Minister Muse adds that authorities deployed qualified health workers to the main Djibouti airport in the capital to conduct tests for the passengers arriving the country from Saturday.
