Libyan authorities decided to close the land border at Wazin, between Libya and Tunisia as a precautionary measure against the spread of Coronavirus after a number of cases were recorded in Tunisia, the latest being recorded yesterday in the state of Tataouine, which is near the crossing.

A source at the border crossing stated that the decision does not include Libyan Nationals returning to their country or, for that matter, Tunisians returning to Tunisia, adding that the closure will stay in effect for at least 15 days, unless instructions to the contrary are received.
