After four months of closure, Senegal has reopened its aerospace with new rules. Air Transport Ministry announced.
Leaving Senegal by air, the Ministry of Air Transport presented a health protocol with main measures such as keeping distance and wearing of masks until one reaches his or her destination.
For people coming to the country, a Covid-19 screening test is required and it is free at the airport. "A measure that may change at any time," said a source familiar with the matter. A passenger with a negative Covid-19 certificate performed less than seven days before flying will not be screened. Each passenger will have to fill out a form to retrace their route.
The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has recommended opening between member states by July 15 at the latest. But the European Union is only reopening its borders to 15 countries immediately. In Africa, only four countries are on the list. They are Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, and Rwanda.
For the time being, the only international flights allowed to operate to and from Senegal are "one-way" flights, for Senegalese nationals stranded outside and foreign citizens stranded in the country.
