Colombia plans to ground international travel until at least the end of August, joining Argentina in enacting one of the world’s strictest travel bans in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
The country is sealing its borders until August 31 under a health emergency declared by the president this week, Angela Maria Orozco, Colombia’s transportation minister, said in an interview with Blu Radio Wednesday. Domestic flights will not be permitted until at least July, she said.
