Rwanda has resumed flights to southern Africa as it enforces strict preventive measures and Covid-19 vaccine mandates to curb the spread of the new Omicron variant.

Kigali says passengers arriving from the region must present a PCR negative test taken within 72 hours before arrival. Travellers will also be required to quarantine for three days and take tests on the third and seventh days after arrival.
