Tanzania: Health officials maintain minimal COVID-19 restrictions as of Feb.18 /update 8
As of Feb.18, authorities in Tanzania maintain minimal COVID-19-related restrictions. International flights ongoing.
Event
As of Feb. 18, Tanzanian authorities are keeping minimal measures in effect as part of their response to the COVID-19 pandemic. International flights and cross-border ground traffic are operating. Arriving international travelers are no longer required to undergo a 14-day quarantine period; travelers are also no longer required to produce proof of having tested negative for COVID-19 upon entry into Tanzania unless their airline or country of origin requires it as a condition of travel. However, travelers arriving at airports, including Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR), Mwanza International Airport (MWZ), Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), and Abeid Amani Karume International Airport (ZNZ), must undergo enhanced screening for COVID-19 upon arrival. Persons testing positive for the disease may be required to self-isolate for up to 14 days.
All international arrivals are urged to adhere to strict hygiene measures, such as washing hands, wearing facemasks, and complying with social distancing guidelines. Travelers must fill out a traveler's surveillance form available onboard and submit it upon arrival.
Authorities could reimpose, extend, further ease, or otherwise amend any restrictions with little-to-no notice depending on disease activity over the coming weeks.
Advice
Follow all official instructions. Reconfirm all travel arrangements before departure, including possible self-isolation requirements. Maintain contact with your diplomatic representation. Consider delaying travel if showing COVID-19-like symptoms as they may prompt increased scrutiny and delays.
