As of January 18, 2021, all passengers travelling to France will have to present at check-in in Tunisia a negative PCR test carried out less than 72 hours prior to boarding, national carrier Tunisair said Friday.

Each passenger will also have to commit to a seven day self-quarantine period once they arrive in France and to conduct a second PCR test at the end of the seven day period, Tunisair added in a press release.

This measure follows the new decisions announced by the French government aimed to stem the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.
