Libyan Airlines has called on all passengers on board the company’s aircraft to adhere to regulations introduced by the Turkish Civil Aviation Directorate. This entails submitting a PCR test made as far as 3 days before the date of travel for all arrivals to Turkey. The regulations will be put in place as of 28th December.
In a statement, the company said that regarding those unable to conduct the examination, they would be quarantined for a period of 7 days in their place of residence, or in a place determined by the Ministry of Health if they do not have an address in Turkey.
Libyan Airlines added that the decision will remain in effect until the 1st March 2021, and will be applied to all land and seaports as of 30th December.
Notably, the Director of the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), Dr. Badr Al-Din Al-Najjar, announced that Libya has contracted to purchase 2.8 million doses of the Coronavirus vaccine.
In statements to Anadolu Agency, Al-Najjar added that the value of the contract with the World Health Organisation (WHO) amounts to 42 million Libyan Dinars. It is not yet clear which vaccine-producer will provide Libya with its doses.
