France will introduce a mandatory ten-day quarantine for travelers from Brazil, Argentina, Chile and South Africa, in the face of concern over the variants of Covid-19, Matignon announced on Saturday.
Flights with Argentina, Chile and South Africa are maintained, while Paris announced on Tuesday the suspension of air links with Brazil to limit the spread of a local variant.
