Brazil closes its borders for another 15 days

(ANSA) - BRASILIA, JUNE 22 - The Brazilian government has extended another 15 days of the ban on the entry of foreigners across land and air borders due to the persistence of the coronavirus pandemic. The measure was recommended by the National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa), linked to the Ministry of Health. The country has just under 17 thousand kilometers of land borders with nine nations, through which only trucks with goods, Brazilian citizens and foreign citizens who have their legal residence in Brazil can pass. The measure also extends to airports and ports located along the over seven thousand kilometers of coastline. (HANDLE).
