España prorroga las restricciones a los vuelos desde el Reino Unido
Me fui de vacaciones a Namibia recientemente y conseguí 2 de estos para ayudar a cargar mis dispositivos eléctricos como mi teléfono móvil, cámara y videocámara mientras estaba en el país y estoy agradecido de decir que todos ellos funcionaron perfectamente, pude cargar completamente mis aparatos electrónicos sin mucha molestia o problemas. También pueden funcionar bien en la vecina Sudáfrica. Si usted está buscando para obtener adalpters cuando se viaja a esta zona, entonces esto es para usted, pero si usted está en un país diferente de Sudáfrica o Namibia, donde son los enchufes de 3 puntos, entonces voy a aconsejar altamente no comprarlos porque no se ajustan o funcionan. Estos artículos me ayudaron a proporcionar energía cuando la necesité durante mis largas vacaciones y estoy encantado de comprarlos, especialmente a un buen precio. Maravilloso artículo de viaje, sencillo y fácil de usar.
COVID19/ South Africa slams ‘draconian’ bans
The cascade of country restrictions began Thursday night when the UK announced it would temporarily suspend flights from South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Lesotho and Eswatini.
Singapore has opted to ban entry to all non-residents from Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe, while returning nationals and permanent residents from any of these countries will be required to spend 10 days at home. Malaysia has also taken similar measures.
Meanwhile, Germany plans to declare South Africa a “virus variant area” as of Friday night, which will mean that airlines will only be able to enter from the country to repatriate German nationals.
The United States will restrict travel from South Africa and seven other countries as of Monday. Following advice from Dr. Anthony Fauci and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Biden administration will restrict travel from South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Lesotho, Eswatini, Mozambique and Malawi.
Government extends the limitation of direct flights with the United Kingdom to the United States
The United Kingdom government announced Tuesday that it will remove all countries from its red list of travel destinations as of next morning, considering that it has lost effectiveness in slowing the spread of the omicron variant of the coronavirus.
Community transmission of the new variant in the UK and the rest of the world makes the red list “less effective in slowing the incursion of omicron from abroad,” the minister said.
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) estimates that some 200,000 people were infected with the Omicron variant in the UK on Monday, although the official number of confirmed test-confirmed cases was 54,661 yesterday.
Parliament is expected to approve these measures this afternoon with the backing of the Conservative majority and the Labour opposition, although dozens of Tory MPs have announced that they will rebel against their own government and vote against the plan.
