Paris:
France has ordered a mandatory 10-day quarantine for arrivals from seven extra nations in a bid to manage the spread of Covid-19, a government supply told AFP on Friday.
Turkey is now on the extended quarantine list coming into force at midnight on Saturday, as are Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Nepal, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, the supply stated.
India, which has seen an alarming surge in Covid infection prices and deaths, was place on the list last month, only days just after France also announced a ban on all flights from Brazil to stave off the P1 coronavirus variant.
Arrivals from Argentina, Chile and South Africa also currently have to comply with the quarantine requirement.
Arrivals from the nations on the list will also have to provide a PCR test much less than 36 hours old, even though this rule will be waived for the new additions more than this weekend, the supply stated.
Passengers will have to provide proof on arrival that they have a location to quarantine, and will be permitted to leave that location for two hours each day.
