The Gambia government listed China No. 1 in the list of countries where flights could still come into the country amid the coronavirus crisis.
The Barrow administration on Thursday announced a ban on flights from 13 countries in an attempt to prevent a spread of the coronavirus. China, where the virus originated from and where at least 80, 000 people have been infected never made that list.
State House have now adjusted its statement to say that cabinet has approved that Gambians and non-Gambians travelling from 47 countries in Asia, Europe and the Americas to The Gambia will undergo mandatory quarantine for 14 days. China sat at No. 1 spot.
“This decision will be reviewed regularly and the public will be informed accordingly,” State House said of the move.
