General travel advisory
Latest travel alert
Covid-19
Travelers should exercise caution in any decisions about international travel, as several countries have been progressively changing covid-19 testing strategies, resulting in lower overall numbers of tests performed and consequently lower numbers of cases detected.
Anyone considering traveling abroad should be aware that restrictions are subject to change at short notice, and additional restrictions may be imposed by the country of your destination, including during your visit. http://www.mohcc.gov.zw/
