Tunisia to open sea, air and land borders on June 27

Tunisia will open its sea, land and air borders on June 27, the Tunisian authorities said on Monday. This measure is taken to rescue its tourism industry as the COVID-19 pandemic comes under control. The government said also it will allow movement between cities again as of Thursday. Tunisia has forecast its economy will shrink up to 4.3% this year, the steepest drop since 1956 independence. The important tourism sector could lose $1.4 billion and 400,000 jobs this year due to the pandemic. TunisianMonitorOnline
