Tunisia’s health ministry has also announced six new cases of coronavirus, bringing the total of confirmed cases in the country to 13.

A mandatory self-quarantine period of two weeks has also been imposed for all travellers arriving from china, iran and the worst-affected European countries.

On arrival in Tunisia’s airports, travellers must also register their details, using an online form with a QR code, in addition to a paper form.

Tunisia has gradually been testing more in recent days, and has applied tighter controls and prevention measures.
