Until the virus knows no limits, travel stops which isolate a state or region are extremely unfair and even inefficient”, Guterres said at a news conference, Reuters news agency.
The UN chief even called on the number of tests for all travelers to increase.
“This is the only way to reduce the risk of spreading infection and which at the same time enables economic commitment”, Guterres added.
Some countries have already banned travel from South African states following the presentation of the new version of Coronavirus, Omitron, last week in this region.
According to the World Health Organization (OBSH), Omitron risk is very high, but O The BSH has also rejected the ban on travel from the continent, commenting on it as an attack on global solidarity.
