UN Chief Faults Covid Travel Bans On Southern Africa

Synopsis

United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres says he is deeply concerned by travel bans on southern Africa. The UN chief says the people of Africa cannot be blamed for the immorally low level of vaccinations available in Africa and they should not be penalised for identifying and sharing crucial science and health information with the world. The UN chief viewed the blanket barring of certain citizens as a form of collective punishment. The UN chief has appealed to governments to consider scientific-based solutions such as increased testing and quarantine if need be.
