South Africans will no longer be barred from entering France. The French government published a decree Thursday that removed South Africa from the list of places subject to highly restricted travel rules.

France, which has one of Europe’s most-vaccinated populations, reported more than three hundred thousand new virus cases on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
