Ivory Coast may prohibit people who haven’t received the Covid-19 vaccine from accessing public places, the West African country’s National Security Council said.

The government is considering banning unvaccinated people who fail to produce a negative coronavirus test from restaurants, bars, cinemas, stadiums, hotels, universities, large schools and other buildings, the council said in an emailed statement.
