Returning Citizens

Samoa imposes tightens measures for returning citizens

This follows confirmation of two positive Covid-19 cases found to have been infected before they had boarded the last repatriation flight from Auckland earlier this month.

Samoa's prime minster Tuila'epa Sa'ilele Malielegaoi, says approval will only be given to returning citizens permanently residing in the country and the scholarship students.

But they must present a medical report clearing them of symptoms of the coronavirus before entering Samoa.

Meanwhile, the two people who tested positive cases are now in isolation.
