The Libyan Foreign Ministry will oblige Libyan nationals in Turkey, Tunisia and Egypt to 14 days in quarantine, then they will have to do the needed lab tests before being repatriated home, spokesman Mohammed Al-Giblawi said Sunday.
Al-Giblawi added that the process will start on Monday in these three countries first, adding that the Foreign Ministry had allocated funds for the embassies to provide the needed assistance to the stranded nationals in other countries.
He also said that the idea of placing Libyans in Turkey, Tunisia and Egypt in quarantines for 14 days was recommended by the Interior Ministry as it would be difficult to put the returnees in quarantines inside Libya.
The scientific advisory committee for combating Coronavirus that is appointed by the Presidential Council put last Thursday a protocol for the returning process of the Libyan nationals abroad that included many recommendations upon which the Foreign Ministry acted on Sunday.
