US President Joe Biden will restrict travel to the United States from eight southern African countries effective from Monday over concerns about a new Covid-19 variant found in South Africa, a senior administration official said on Friday.
The official said the restrictions will apply to South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Lesotho, Eswatini, Mozambique, and Malawi and were being “implemented out of an abundance of caution in light of a new Covid-19 variant circulating in Southern Africa.”
