\nMongolia has reopened its borders to fully vaccinated international travellers, state media reported, rolling back coronavirus curbs that had kept the country isolated for two years.
\nThe nation has implemented some of the world\u2019s toughest anti-Covid measures since the start of the pandemic, largely sealing off its borders and imposing several lockdowns.
\nThe curbs have battered its economy as businesses closed, exports plunged and hundreds of thousands faced precarious employment.
\nMongolia\u2019s cabinet approved a resolution downgrading the pandemic \u201cstate of readiness\u201d from orange to yellow, effectively lifting all restrictions on business operations, state news agency Montsame reported Monday.
\nThe move means the country of three million \u201cfully opens its borders to international travel\u201d, Prime Minister Luvsannamsrai Oyun-Erdene said, according to Montsame.<\/p>\n
Declaring Mongolia open to fully jabbed tourists and investors, he reportedly said the government would \u201cput efforts into creating the necessary conditions to ensure safety\u2026 for all those arriving in the country for business and tourism purposes\u201d.<\/p>\n
Oyun-Erdene\u2019s predecessor resigned last year during protests and public anger over the treatment of a coronavirus-positive woman and her newborn baby.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
