Infection numbers have managed to slow down in recent days to less than 20 cases reported per 100,000 people in the past 14 days, as of late July. Despite this, Afghanistan's underdeveloped healthcare infrastructure, poor testing capabilities and porous borders means the country is vulnerable and will continue to struggle to contain the outbreak in the near-term. </span></p><h4><span>International Travel</span></h4><p><span>International Flights</span></p><p><span>Many airlines that had served destinations in the </span><span>country</span><span> have halted operations, while some Emirates flights have resumed, mostly for repatriation of stranded travellers, from 24 June. Flights between Turkey and Afghanistan are suspended, due to a ban by Turkish officials. </span><span>Emergency, humanitarian, other repatriation, diplomatic and cargo flights continue to operate.</span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>Entry and Borders</span></p><p><span>All land borders with China, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan are closed. Land borders with Iran are open but subjected to enhanced screening.

Emergency services and security personnel were exempt from the restrictions. However, from 21 July, authorised eased restrictions to allow some commercial businesses and local markets to operate for a few hours daily in Kabul. Movement restrictions have not been strictly enforced in many urban areas. <br></span></p><p><span>Domestic Travel</span></p><p><span>Bus services were suspended and vehicles with more than four passengers were prohibited from entering and exiting Kabul. </span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>Other Restrictions</span></p><p><span>Officials made wearing face masks mandatory in public and banned all gatherings of more than 10 people.</span></p><h4><span>Demonstrations and Unrest</span></h4><p><span>Residents have staged protests over alleged lack of financial and humanitarian aid in areas affected by COVID-19, including Nagarhar and Paktika provinces, since early April. On 9 May, similar protests were reported in Kabul and in Firozkoh, Ghor province, where at least seven people were killed and 14 others were injured after police opened fire to disperse the demonstration. Further protests over the issue have the potential to escalate to unrest if the central government does not allocate more funds or intervene to assist provincial authorities with distribution efforts.</span></p><p><span>At least 15 people were killed at the Wesh-Chaman border crossing in Spin Boldak, Kandahar province, on 30 July when Pakistani soldiers opened fire on Afghan nationals who tried to force open the crossing in protest of pandemic-related entry restrictions. </span></p>",

"local_text": "<p><span>Summary</span></p><p><span>Australia responded to the pandemic swiftly, closing its borders and implementing comprehensive lockdown procedures in mid-March. In most states of the country, restrictions have eased but authorities have reinforced a lockdown in parts of Victoria since early July due to a second wave of infections. Around</span><span> 23 cases have been reported per 100,000 people in the past 14 days, by late July, with Victoria recording more than 200 cases each day. </span><span>While further outbreaks cannot be ruled-out, health authorities and medical facilities are well-equipped to respond to this.</span></p><h4><span>International Travel</span></h4><p><span>International Flights<br>Most commercial flights were suspended until at least </span><span>17 September.</span><span> Emergency, humanitarian, repatriation, diplomatic and cargo flights are exempt. Virgin Australia suspended its limited international operations indefinitely following the expiration of a government program that subsidised several routes. Qantas has suspended flights </span><span>until the end</span><span> of October. Since 10 July, authorities have capped the number of incoming passengers on repatriation flights due to the strain on quarantine facilities. </span><span>Melbourne Tullamarine Airport (MEL/YMML) is closed until at least 24 October. The passenger terminal at Canberra Airport (CBR/YSCB) will temporarily cease operations on Saturdays from 22 August until further notice.</span></p><p><span><br>Entry and Borders<br>All ports of entry are closed to foreign nationals until at least 17 September. </span></p><p><span><br>Quarantine<br>All travellers, including Australian nationals returning from abroad, are required to quarantine for 14 days at government designated facilities upon arrival. All inbound travellers in New South Wales and South Australia will have to quarantine at a designated government centre at their own cost which is set at AUD 3,000; additional adult family members will incur a cost of AUD 1,000 while the fee for children over the age of three is set at AUD 500. Similar measures are expected to be implemented in other states in the coming days. </span></p><h4><span>Domestic Situation</span></h4><p><span>Areas </span><span>on Lockdown </span></p><p><span>Officials declared a 'state of disaster' across Victoria state, which will remain in force until at least 13 September. Stage four restrictions, including a nightly curfew from 20:00-05:00 local time (10:00-19:00 GMT), are in effect across Greater Melbourne; only one person per household is allowed to leave their home for essential shopping and one hour of exercise is permitted for two people from the same or different household within a five-kilometre (3.1-mile) radius of their residence. People have to remain at home at all times. </span></p><p><span>Stage three restrictions were imposed in regional Victoria, including in Mitchell Shire, with effect from 23:59 local time (13:59 GMT) on 5 August until 16 September. People will not be allowed to leave their homes except for work or study, exercise, medical reasons and shopping for supplies. All retailers and department stores in Melbourne, except for essential services, will also shut down until at least 16 September. Around 1,000 Australian Defence Force personnel were deployed to COVID-19 hotspots and quarantine accommodations across Victoria state, to help enforce social distancing and related measures in an effort to contain the outbreak. </span></p><p><span><strong></strong></span></p><p><span>Domestic Travel</span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>On 25 March, </span><span>Tiger Air</span><span> announced the suspension of all domestic flights until further notice. </span><span>Virgin Australia, Qantas and Jetstar have resumed limited domestic flight services for travel between capital cities. </span><span>Public transport in major cities across the country are also running on reduced schedules.</span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>Australian Capital Territory (ACT): ACT authorities closed their borders with neighbouring Victoria state due to a recent surge in COVID-19 infections in Victoria. Only those on essential travel with exemption passes from the government will be allowed to cross the borders. Residents of ACT will be able to return from Victoria state, but those coming from Melbourne and other COVID-19 hotspots will be allowed to self-isolate for 14 days upon arrival in most cases while those with symptoms will be subject to hotel quarantine.</span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>Northern Territory: Travellers from Victoria and Greater Sydney in New South Wales will be required to undergo mandatory hotel quarantine for 14 days upon arrival; all travellers are required to fill a health </span><span>declaration</span><span> form at the border and take prior approval for entry for essential travel.</span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>Queensland: Residents arriving from overseas are required to pay for their quarantine </span><span>accommodation</span><span> from 1 July. Special rules and restrictions may apply for travel to a remote community in the territory. Inter-state borders reopened on 10 July, except for travellers from Victoria. From 8 August, travellers from NSW and ACT will also be banned from entering the state. All visitors have to apply for an entry permit.</span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>South Australia: The state's land, sea and air borders are closed to all travellers except those with exemptions (i.e. returning South Australia residents). Special rules and restrictions may apply for travel to a remote community in the territory. Only travellers from Western Australia, Tasmania, Northern Territory and Queensland are allowed entry without quarantine. Travellers from Victoria (including returning South Australian residents) are barred entry unless for essential reasons. Travellers from NSW and ACT will be required to self-quarantine for 14 days upon arrival.</span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>Tasmania: The state's land, sea and air borders are closed to all travellers except those with exemptions (i.e. returning Tasmania residents, essential workers etc) until 31 August. Travellers with permission to enter Tasmania are required to quarantine at a hotel for 14 days at their own expense if they come from a COVID-19 hotspot; other travellers can self-quarantine. Non-essential travellers from Victoria, NSW and ACT are barred from entering Tasmania. </span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>Western Australia: The state's land, sea and air borders are closed to all travellers except those with exemptions (i.e. returning Western Australia residents). All arrivals are required to self-quarantine for 14 days. Special rules and restrictions apply for travel to Goldfields-Esperance remote Aboriginal communities and the Kimberley region. </span><span>Non-essential travellers from Victoria are banned from entering Western Australia. </span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>New South Wales and Victoria: The New South Wales-Victoria border was closed to residents from 8 July, due to high numbers of infections in Victoria. Additional police and military personnel will be deployed along the border to enforce the closure. Only those travelling into NSW for essential work, health and education purposes or returning NSW residents will be allowed in and will require a special government permit. Those entering NSW from Victoria will have to undergo mandatory 14-day quarantine at designated facilities at their own cost. All returning residents will be allowed entry only via Sydney Airport (SYD/YSSY). </span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>Other Restrictions</span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>Australian Capital Territory<br>Most non-essential businesses and recreational facilities, including cafes and restaurants, playgrounds, community centres and halls, outdoor gyms and parks have been allowed to reopen. Public gatherings are limited to 100 people, both indoors and outdoors.</span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>New South Wales<br>Many non-essential establishments, including restaurants, pubs, libraries, cafes, beauty parlours, gyms and pubs have been reopened with strict social distancing measures. Following a rise in community transmission, the number of group bookings were reduced to 10 from 20 at venues such as clubs, pubs and casinos effective from 24 July. Officials recommend the use of face masks in public.</span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>Northern Territory<br>Most non-essential businesses, including bars and pubs, have been allowed to reopen. There are no limits to social gatherings, but social distancing procedures should be practiced.</span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>Queensland<br>People are allowed to travel and stay overnight at places within the state, while public gatherings of up to 100 people are allowed; travel to indigenous areas remains restricted. Many non-essential businesses, including restaurants and pubs are open and there are </span><span>no limits on public gatherings but officials reduced the minimum amount of mandatory distance between individuals in public to 4sqm (43sqft)</span><span>.</span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>South Australia<br>Most non-essential businesses have been allowed to reopen, including restaurants, cinemas, cafes and other entertainment venues. However gatherings at homes and other small indoor venues are limited to 10 people, while gatherings at weddings and funerals are capped at 100 people.</span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>Tasmania<br>Gatherings of up to 250 people in an undivided indoor space and up to 500 people in a divided and outdoor space are allowed. Most non-essential businesses have reopened. </span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>Victoria</span></p><p><span>Wearing facemasks is compulsory in public areas in Victoria state from 2 August. Residents in Colac-Otway, Greater Geelong, Surf Coast, Moorabool, Golden Plains, and the Borough of Queenscliffe in regional Victoria are not allowed to have visitors in their homes.</span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>Western Australia</span></p><p><span>Cafes and restaurants, and most entertainment venues have been allowed to operate. On 27 June, authorities removed all limitations on gatherings (so long as they abide by the 2sqm (21sqft) for each individual rule). Gyms were allowed to reopen, provided they operate without staff. On 18 July, officials lifted all COVID-19 restrictions on gatherings, including the requirement to have the 2sqm (21sqft) for each individual rule, and on the operations of businesses.</span></p><h4><span>Xenophobic Attacks</span></h4><p><span>Instances of xenophobic attacks targeting foreign nationals from Southeast and East Asia have been reported in Melbourne and Sydney since early April. On 16 April, two foreign nationals studying at the University of Melbourne, were ambushed and beaten up by two women on Melbourne's Elizabeth Street; the attackers fled the scene. Separately, instances of vandalism targeting properties of Chinese nationals have also been reported in other parts of Melbourne and Sydney. Foreign nationals are advised to exercise caution in poorly lit areas after dark and avoid walking alone at night, as further xenophobic attacks remain possible due to rising number of infections and prevailing restrictions. </span></p><h4><span>Demonstrations and Unrest</span></h4><p><span>Protests against lockdown measures began in early May, with some demonstrators referencing conspiracy theories that authorities were attempting to control the population or that COVID-19 was caused by 5G infrastructure. At least one police officer was injured and ten people were arrested at one such protest in Victoria state on 10 May. Further related demonstrations are likely in the near-term, especially in Victoria, due to reimposition of strict lockdown measures since 8 July.</span></p>",

"local_text": "<p><span>Summary</span></p><p><span>Authorities imposed border closures and urged people to avoid travelling and follow social distancing measures over a month after the first COVID-19 cases were detected in the country at the end of January. Although cities and provinces were quicker to impose restrictions, the infection rate has grown to be slightly higher than that of France, but </span><span>less than</span><span> a fifth of that of the United States. The curve of active cases decreased since early June, prompting many provinces to begin gradually </span><span>easing</span><span> COVID-19 measures. Although active cases have been slightly increasing since mid-July, less than 20 cases per 100,000 people were reported in the past 14 days, as of mid-August.</span></p><h4><span>International Travel</span></h4><p><span>International Flights<br>From 18 March, international flights will only be accepted at Toronto Pearson (YYZ/CYYZ), Montreal-Trudeau (YUL/CYUL), Vancouver (YVR/CYVR) and Calgary (YYC/CYYC) airports and passengers showing symptoms will be banned from planes bound to Canada. Windsor International Airport (YQG/CYQG) in Ontario suspended all commercial passenger flights from 3 April until further notice.</span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>Most Air Canada flights have been suspended since 1 April; dozens of domestic routes are suspended indefinitely, and most routes between Canada and Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean, as well as Europe and Asia, were cancelled until the end of June. Most scheduled flights between Canada and the United States were suspended until 1 July. Air Canada resumed some flights from Toronto to London Heathrow (LHR/EGLL) from 22 June, while other international destinations followed. Porter Airlines extended its ongoing flight suspension until at least 7 October.</span></p><p><span>Airplane passengers, excluding children younger than two and those with disabilities, must wear face masks in transit and at screening checkpoints from 20 April; people lacking protective gear or displaying COVID-19 symptoms like fever/difficulty breathing will not be allowed to board. Officials at Toronto Pearson Airport announced that entry to the terminals will be restricted to travellers only from 1 June; people accompanying minors or individuals with disabilities are exempt. </span></p><p><span>The Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA) officials announced that effective 30 July all passengers must undergo temperature screening at Vancouver (YVR/CYVR), Calgary (YYC/CYYC), Toronto-Pearson (YYZ/CYYZ) and Montreal-Trudeau (YUL/CYUL) airports. Those with a temperature of 38 degrees Celsius (100.4 Fahrenheit) or higher after two separate tests will not be allowed to proceed to security screening, unless they present a medical certificate indicating that their elevated temperature is not due to COVID-19 (a negative COVID-19 certificate is not sufficient). Further airports plan to begin screening on or before 30 September, including St. John’s, Halifax, Québec City, Ottawa, Toronto-Billy Bishop, Winnipeg, Regina, Saskatoon, Edmonton, Kelowna and Victoria.</span></p><p><span>Entry and Borders<br></span><span>Borders are closed to all foreign visitors, excluding permanent residents and United States (US) nationals travelling for essential reasons, until 31 August. Foreign nationals who are immediate family members of Canadian citizens or permanent residents and who do not have or display any symptoms of COVID-19, as well as air crew, diplomats, seasonal workers, caregivers and international students were exempt from the entry ban. The US-Canada border remains closed to travellers crossing for non-essential purposes, including tourism and recreation, until 21 August. Movement of cross-border workers and commercial traffic are not affected by the measure. Similar border closures have been imposed by provincial governments.</span><span> </span></p><p><span>Quarantine<br></span><span>All travellers entering Canada, excluding essential workers, must self-isolate for 14 days. Similar quarantine measures have been imposed by provincial governments.</span></p><h4><span>Domestic Situation</span></h4><p><span>Domestic Travel<br></span><span>VIA Rail has reduced train services by 50 percent in the Quebec City-Windsor corridor from 17 March until further notice. Overnight trains (Toronto-Vancouver and Montreal-Halifax) were earlier cancelled until at least 1 November. Several other inter-regional trains were also operating on reduced frequencies.</span></p><p><span>Porter Airlines operations are suspended until 7 October. Voluntary face mask wearing is encouraged on ferries, trains and buses.</span></p><p><span>Other Restrictions<br>The wearing of face masks is</span><span> </span><span>recommended where social distancing is a challenge. W</span><span>earing a face mask is mandatory in indoor public spaces and public transport in Vancouver, Nova Scotia, Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal.</span></p><p><span>The closure of non-essential businesses, schools and public events differ by province. Pharmacies and supermarkets remain open. Urban public transport has been reduced in some cities, including Toronto. Provincial states of emergency restricting business hours and public gatherings have been declared in Nova Scotia, Northwest Territories, Prince Edward Island, Alberta, Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia, Newfoundland and Labrador, Yukon and Nunavut, while restrictions have been imposed in all other provinces. </span></p><p><span>A 14-day self-quarantine requirement for arriving travellers remains in effect in most provinces and territories. Travel within Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador is permitted for residents of those provinces without having to self-quarantine for 14 days. </span></p>",

Authorities have reported a slowdown in infection numbers in most areas and resumed public transportation in those areas that are not on lockdown or under threat of a second wave of infections. </span><span>Less than 20</span><span> new cases have been reported per 100,000 people in China in the past 14 days, by late July. The government has taken some considerable measures such as banning the sale of wildlife and live poultry, and increased health screening and testing measures to try and curb the spread of the virus. However, there is a lack of credible information from the government which makes it difficult to </span><span>ascertain the true number of cases and whether the outbreak has truly been contained. Government officials are looking to further ease internal movement restrictions to allow for the full resumption of economic activities in the near-term. </span></p><h4><span>International Travel</span></h4><p><span>International Flights</span></p><p><span>Most international airlines have cancelled commercial flights through China. </span><span>Emergency, humanitarian, repatriation, diplomatic and cargo flights are exempt. Furthermore, Chinese officials have requested airlines to operate only one flight per week to an international destination, mostly to repatriate foreign nationals and bring in essential personnel. </span><span>Airlines must also limit passenger load on flights at 75 percent. On 5 June, US officials announced that Chinese carriers will be allowed to operate two round-trips between the US and China. Starting from 8 June, 95 foreign airlines that had previously suspended flights to China can apply to resume commercial flights; airlines will be allowed to choose a city with one or more airports that are capable of accommodating international passenger flights and operate one international flight per week.</span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>F</span><span>lights in and out of Ürümqi Diwopu International Airport (URC/ZWWW) in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region are suspended until further notice.</span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>Entry and Borders</span></p><p><span>Most foreign nationals, including visa and residency permit holders, are denied entry to China. Diplomats, travellers on essential official business and \"C\" visa holders in international transportation services are exempt on a case-by-case basis. Officials in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (GZAR), which borders Vietnam, banned land and sea cross-border travel and suspended passenger transportation until further notice. </span><span>All travellers from Hong Kong looking to enter Guangdong province have to provide a medical certificate proving they tested negative for COVID-19, dated no older than 72 hours.</span><span> Chinese nationals are not allowed to exit the country through the region's borders but the transportation of goods are not affected.

Security forces enforce lockdown measures. </span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>Officials have placed some communities in Beijing, including in the vicinity of Yuquan East Food Market in Haidian district on lockdown after a new cluster of COVID-19 cases was discovered. Residents of medium- and high-risk areas were barred from leaving Beijing; residents of communities with partial lockdowns or green code can leave and re-enter their areas with entry passes but non-residents were banned entry. Limited passengers were allowed on public transport and all indoor sport and entertainment venues were closed.</span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>Anxin county in Hebei province is also on lockdown since 27 June after a spike in infections was detected in connection with the Xinfadi market cluster in Beijing.</span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>Officials in Ürümqi, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, placed the city on partial lockdown on 17 July. Most flights as well as public transport have been halted. Anyone wishing to leave the city must take a virus test.

However, cities and departments were first to impose lockdown measures from mid-March, before a nationwide lockdown was imposed on 24 March.

Entry to and exit from these areas will be banned.</span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>Authorities extended movement and non-essential business restrictions in Barranquilla, Atlántico department, from 16 July until 2 August. ID card based movement restrictions will continue after 2 August.</span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>Authorities will impose strict quarantine and movement controls in Medellín, Barbosa, Copacabana, Bello, Envigado, Itagüí, Sabaneta, La Estrella and Caldas municipalities of the Aburrá Valley, Antioquia department, on 15-17 August.</span><span> </span><span>Only essential movement will be allowed and non-essential businesses must close. Entry to and exit from these areas will be banned and ID-based movement restrictions remain in effect. Pharmacies, grocery stores and shops selling basic necessities will remain open.</span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>Armed groups, including paramilitary groups associated with drug cartels, have reportedly violently enforced local curfews and lockdowns in at least 11 of the country’s 32 departments, in a bid to consolidate control over drug trafficking routes and local communities, since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic [see more under Conflict and Terrorism].</span></p><p><span>Areas under Curfew</span></p><p><span>People over the age of 70 and those with medical conditions were ordered to stay and work at home through 1 August; travel is permitted for the purchase of food and to access financial and medical services. From 13 July, those over 70 will be allowed to exercise outdoors for two hours a day, like all the other age groups.</span></p><p><span>Overnight curfews have been imposed in Bogotá, Barranquilla, Cartagena, Santander, Quindío, Córdoba, Meta, Cundinamarca, Tolima, Manizales, Bucaramanga, Pasto, Boyacá, Neiva and Atlántico.</span></p><p><span>A nightly curfew from 22:00-05:00 local time (03:00-10:00 GMT) is in effect in all municipalities of Valle del Cauca department until 31 August. In Cali, people with an even last digit on their ID card may go outside on even days and odd digits on odd days.</span></p><p><span>Domestic Travel<br></span><span>Travel between regions is highly restricted; public transport will operate at 35 percent capacity; inter-municipal transport remains suspended. </span><span>In Bogotá, </span><span>private vehicles may carry up to three people. Avianca airline officials suspended all domestic flights from 25 March and filed for bankruptcy on 10 May. Effective 21 July, domestic flights were allowed to partially resume between municipalities with few or no COVID-19 cases, including between Palonegro Airport (BGA/SKBG) in Bucaramanga, Santander, and Camilo Daza Airport (CUC/SKCC) in Cúcuta, Norte de Santander department. Further routes through Medellín (MDE/SKRG), Pereira (PEI/</span><span>SKPE</span><span>), Manizales (MZL/SKMZ), Armenia (AXM/SKAR) and San Andrés (ADZ/SKSP) airports, resumed from 11 August, while limited domestic flights are expected to resume through El Dorado International Airport (BOG/SKBO) in Bogotá from 1 September. All travellers must present a negative PCR test or serologic test result not older than two days.</span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>Other Restrictions</span></p><p><span>Face masks must be worn in public. Officials have banned gatherings of over 50 people and public events of over 500 people nationwide. Directives vary between regions, but social distancing rules continue to apply. Places of worship will be allowed to reopen with restrictions, while municipalities with very few or no COVID-19 cases may apply for the reopening of restaurants, theatres and gyms, from 13 July. In Bogotá, gender-based movement restrictions and a raft of other restrictions were eased from 11 May after a month of implementation. Outdoor exercise is allowed for 6-17 year-olds for 30 minutes three times a week at 08:00-11:00 and 14:00-17:00 local time (13:00-16:00 and 19:00-22:00 GMT) with a guardian, and for adults under 60 at 06:00-10:00 local time (11:00-15:00 GMT) for an hour at a time; except in high-risk neighbourhoods. </span></p><h4><span>Demonstrations and Unrest </span></h4><p><span>Protests have erupted to denounce the government's COVID-19 measures. Several Transmilenio stations were closed in Bogotá on 6 May due to a protest roadblock to denounce a lack of government aid amid the COVID-19 lockdown. Dozens of Venezuelan nationals also held a sit-in in Usaquén to demand officials let them travel to the border. Earlier, on 16 April, protests by low-income residents over the government's failure to deliver aid amid the lockdown were reported in parts of Bogotá, Medellin and Cali, while on 30 April, protesting migrants stranded in Ecuador attempted to cross into the Nariño department, resulting in clashes with police who fired teargas shells to disperse protesters. </span><span>Further protests which have the potential to escalate to unrest remain possible, particularly in urban hubs, and along border regions during the restrictions.</span></p><h4><span>Conflict and Terrorism </span></h4><p><span>The National Liberation Army (ELN) rebel group declared a unilateral ceasefire on 1-30 April over the COVID-19 outbreak; the group will only \"act in a defensive manner\". On 29 April, the group announced that it will resume armed activity from 1 May.</span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>Since 20 April, some paramilitary groups have also restricted entry and exit of indeginous community members in parts of Choco department, </span><span>Villa Hermosa, Playita, Egoroquera and Unión Baquiaza, and have also disrupted distribution of COVID-19 related humanitarian aid in the region. On 24 May, ex-FARC militants launched an intimidation campaign and announced that residents of Morales, Piendamó, Morales, Cajibío, Santander de Quilichao, Caldono and Silvia in Cauca department must stay at home from 17:00-06:00 local time (22:00-11:00 GMT) daily or risk being killed. </span><span>In Tumaco, Nariño department, armed groups have published leaflets announcing that all curfew violators are military targets and forcing local residents to </span><span>seek permission for even essential activities, such as grocery shopping</span><span>. In early May, at least two people were killed when an ambulance was torched while responding to a call during curfew hours. At least eight people have been killed and 10 others injured in related attacks since the COVID-19 restrictions were imposed. </span><span>Other areas affected by rebels and paramilitary groups are also likely to face similar disruptions to supply of essential goods in the near-term amid the outbreak.</span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>Additional security personnel were deployed along the border with Ecuador in I</span><span>piales, Nariño department as well as aerial surveillance in Putumayo department, while troops were also deployed along the border with</span><span> Brazil, including in Leticia, Amazonas department, Vaupés and Guainía until further notice to reinforce the border and enforce compliance of nationwide quarantine measures.</span></p>",

In Paris, authorities </span><span>mandated</span><span> the wearing of masks in certain crowded places, including along the banks of the River Seine, along the Canal Saint-Martin, in open-air markets and other places where social distancing is difficult, for at least a month from 10 August. In some cities and towns - including Biarritz, Bayonne, Saint-Malo, Le Touquet, Lille, Orléans, Nice, Toulouse, La Rochelle and over 60 municipalities in Mayenne department - face masks must be worn in outdoor public spaces as well, particularly parks, markets, resorts, city centres and other areas where people are likely to gather.</span></p><h4><span>Demonstrations and Unrest </span></h4><p><span>Multiple clashes with police officers occurred during the lockdown period in urban hubs, primarily communes on the outskirts of Paris including Villeneuve-la-Garenne, Clichy, Rueil-Malmaison, Asnières, Nanterre, Meudon, Clamart and Gennevilliers. On 25 May, a group of health workers protested outside the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health in Paris to demand greater occupational hazards compensation and protections. Protests were also held on Place de la Republique and Place du Trocadero in Paris on 26 May to denounce large-scale job losses due to the pandemic. Further protests have been held in June, especially by healthcare workers due to poor wages, shortage of staff and equipment during the outbreak. These demonstrations have the potential to escalate to widespread unrest and disruptive strike actions unless authorities are able to successfully negotiate with workers on their demands. </span></p>",

The infection rate has, however, increased to be higher than many of its regional neighbours, except Panama. After an uptick since June, the number of new cases is slightly decreasing, with around 82 cases per 100,000 people reported in the past 14 days, as of early August. Authorities are, however, likely to extend the ongoing lockdown measures. President Juan Orlando Hernandez announced late on 16 June that he and his wife, and two of his aides were diagnosed with COVID-19.</span></p><h4><span>International Travel</span></h4><p><span>International Flights</span></p><p><span>All international flights are suspended.

Officials have gradually eased internal movement restrictions to allow for resumption of public services, including religious services, but large outdoor gatherings remain restricted following a recent surge in new infections, with around 100-150 new cases reported daily in late July. Some bus services between Hong Kong and Macau have also resumed.

Between 15 August and 15 October, authorities have planned to allow passengers travelling from mainland China to other destinations to transit via Hong Kong Airport. </span><span>All inbound travellers, including flight crew members, will be tested for COVID-19 upon arrival to Hong Kong International Airport.</span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>Entry and Borders</span></p><p><span>West Kowloon, Hung Hom, Sha Tau Kok, Man Kam To, China Ferry Terminal and Tuen Mun Ferry Pier checkpoints, and land border crossings with mainland China, including </span><span>Lo Wu and Lok Ma Chau crossings </span><span>were closed in early February; </span><span>only the Shenzhen Bay crossing, Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge and Hong Kong Airport were left open where health screening and COVID-19 testing measures have been implemented</span><span>. All Hong Kong travellers looking to cross into China's Guangdong via the Shenzhen Bay Bridge have to provide a medical certificate proving they tested negative for COVID-19, no older than 72 hours. All transport services to mainland China have been significantly reduced. All non-residents are barred from entering Hong Kong. Non-Hong Kong residents arriving from mainland China, Macau or Taiwan will be denied entry if they have been to any overseas countries and regions in the past 14 days.</span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>Starting from 25 July, inbound travellers who visited or transited through Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Nepal, Pakistan, the Philippines and South Africa within 14 days of their arrival will be required to provide a negative COVID-19 nucleic acid test result, no older than 72 hours; inbound travellers from the the United States (US) and Kazakhstan will also have to provide similar negative COVID-19 nucleic acid test results from 29 July.

Violators will be fined HKD5,000 (USD645).</span></p><h4><span>Demonstrations and Unrest </span></h4><p><span>There remains a risk of COVID-related demonstrations and unrest in the territory where violent anti-China protests have been raging since June 2019. Local residents have protested in Sai Kung, Mei Foo, Tai Po, Fo Tan, Fanling and other locations over government plans to open quarantine centres; anti-government activists accuse local authorities of using the outbreak as an occasion to introduce more controls and security measures and have periodically thrown petrol bombs at police stations. Healthcare workers have also gone on strike over the authorities' handling of the outbreak. </span><span>Related protest actions are likely to continue in the territory in the near-term after authorities re-imposed restrictions on public gatherings and other businesses on 14 July.</span></p>",

"local_text": "<p><span>Summary<br>The government was slow to react to the outbreak in the country. While the first cases were confirmed in early March, comprehensive lockdown/curfew measures only started from April onwards. While less than 20 cases were reported per 100,000 people in the past 14 days, by late July, authorities have yet to gain a handle on the outbreak. Given the overburdened public healthcare infrastructure and poor virus testing capabilities, the pandemic will continue to affect the country in the medium-term.</span></p><h4><span>International Travel</span></h4><p><span>International Flights<br>All commercial flights are severely reduced until further notice. Emergency, humanitarian, repatriation, diplomatic and cargo flights continue to operate.</span></p><p><span>Entry and Borders<br>The land borders between Papua region and Papua New Guinea and West Kalimantan province and Malaysian Borneo are closed; the land border with East Timor will open for two hours once a week. All foreign nationals, except for those with stay permits, on diplomatic missions and in the essential services sector, are barred from entry until further notice. Foreign nationals are set to be allowed entry to Bali from 11 September.</span></p><p><span>Quarantine<br>All incoming travellers are to undergo polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based swab tests upon arrival at airports nationwide. Visitors who have a medical certificate proving they are COVID-19 negative can self-isolate at home or a hotel for 14 days, while those without a medical certificate will be quarantined for 14 days at a government facility.</span></p><h4><span>Domestic Situation</span></h4><p><span>Areas under Curfew<br>A curfew is force in Balikpapan from 20:00 to 04:00 local time (12:00-20:00 GMT); Sikka Regency from 19:00 to 05:00 (11:00-21:00 GMT); Pekalongan from 21:00 to 04:00 (14:00-21:00 GMT); Aceh province from 20:30 to 05:30 (13:30-22:30 GMT); and Mataram from 20:00 to 06:00 (12:00-22:00 GMT). Civilians can go out only for medical emergencies; food delivery services are allowed to operate.</span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>Domestic Travel<br>Only exempted travellers, including state officials, representatives of international organisations, businessmen and professionals conducting business trips, are allowed to travel between provinces. Public transport in Jakarta and other major urban areas will continue to operate at a significantly reduced capacity. </span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>Lion Air, Wings Air and Batik Air resumed limited domestic flight services on 10 June; only essential health, security and defence workers, and those who need emergency medical care or repatriation may fly. Travellers must present a negative COVID-19 PCR or rapid test result, not older than 72 hours, or a symptom-free certificate for areas without testing facilities. All flight passengers are required to wear face masks and practice social distancing measures.</span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>Other Restrictions<br>A Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) program is in effect in Jakarta, Makassar in South Sulawesi province and Tangerang in Banten province. The measures include closure of non-essential businesses, reduction of transport and a ban on gatherings of more than five people. </span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>Wearing protective face masks in public is mandatory across most of the country. Around 60 shopping malls have been allowed to operate in Jakarta, including Central Park Mall and Plaza Indonesia.</span></p><h4><span>Conflict and Terrorism</span></h4><p><span>Between 15 and 26 April</span><span>, </span><span>counter-terrorism officials arrested at least four Islamic State (IS)-linked militants who allegedly planned to attack Chinese targets in Surabaya, East Java province, blaming the Chinese for the COVID-19 criis and alleged ill-treatment of Uyghur Muslims in China. Terror attacks by Islamist extremists and IS-linked militants on goverment targets and Chinese nationals are possible in urban areas in the near-term, especially during Ramadan, following calls by the IS to its followers to take advantage of the distraction of security forces due to the COVID-19 crisis, to step up their assaults. Foreign nationals, especially Chinese nationals, are advised to remain vigilant; report any suspicious behaviour or objects to local authorities. </span></p>",

Swimming pools were reopened on 10 August and museums at 30 percent capacity a day later, while cinemas may reopen at 30 percent capacity from 12 August, as the level of infections has slowly begun to stabilise.</span></p><h4><span>Demonstrations and Unrest </span></h4><p><span>On 1 June, the National Union of Health Workers of Mexico, along with other unions for health workers, will hold a strike and protests to demand an increase in the supply of protective equipment needed to treat COVID-19 patients. Multiple incidents of looting at supermarkets and grocery stores were reported in Tultitlan, Tecámac and Ecatepec, Mexico state, on 20-23 March. </span><span>On 13 April, dozens of medical workers rallied outside the 1 de Octubre ISSSTE Hospital in Mexico City's Gustavo A. Madero borough, to denounce a lack of protective gear for working with COVID-19 patients. </span><span>Further protests are likely, particularly in urban hubs, during the restrictions. After violent protests against COVID-19 movement restrictions erupted in Yajalon, Chiapas state, on 26 April, federal officials advised police to discontinue imposing curfews and road closures in their localities due to the risk of unrest. On 8 May, firefighters and airport employees blocked the Avenida Capitán Carlos León route to Mexico City's Benito Juárez International Airport (MEX/MMMX) Terminal 1 to protest the lack of personal protective equipment (PPE).</span></p><h4><span>Personal Safety </span></h4><p><span>The growing number of COVID-19 cases has triggered a wave of violence against nurses and doctors who have wrongly been accused of spreading the disease. Dozens of medical workers were attacked across the country by residents and authorities in over 100 attacks in April and May, while medical workers have resorted to not wearing their uniforms outside workplaces to avoid being targeted, denied service in restaurants and supermarkets, forced out of public transport or even physically attacked and arrested. </span><span>Further attacks remain possible across the country until the clinical situation ameliorates.</span></p>",

Meanwhile, restrictions have periodically triggered unrest in the form of violent protest clashes.</span></p><h4><span>International Travel </span></h4><p><span>International Flights</span></p><p><span>International flights are suspended until at least 15 October.</span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>Entry and Borders</span></p><p><span>All overland border crossings are closed as of 23 March. The issuance of visas on arrival has been suspended for travellers from high-risk countries, including China, Italy, Iran, Norway, South Korea, Spain, Japan, France, Germany, the United States (US), United Kingdom (UK), Netherlands and Switzerland. </span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>Quarantine </span></p><p><span>All returning travellers must test negative for COVID-19 within two weeks of departure and are subject to a 14-day self-quarantine and a COVID-19 test within 72 hours of arrival. </span></p><h4><span>Domestic Situation</span></h4><p><span>Areas on Lockdown </span></p><p><span>Lockdowns have previously been implemented in Rivers, Adamawa, Enugu, Plateau, Bauchi, Borno, Edo, Anambra, Abuja, Delta, Ekiti, Kwara, Lagos, Yobe, Jigawa and Ogun states, with people ordered to stay at home, all non-essential businesses closed and public gatherings banned. Moving forward, local authorities have the power to impose \"precision lockdowns\" on areas which record a drastic increase in the number of COVID-19 cases.</span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>Areas under Curfew</span></p><p><span>A nationwide curfew is in effect from 22:00 to 04:00 local time (21:00-03:00 GMT) until at least 3 September, with only essential travel allowed. Partial curfews have also been implemented in Kano, Abia, Akwa-Ibom, Benue, Bayelsa, Nasarawa, Tabara, Ebonyi, Imo, Gombe, Kaduna, Katsina and Niger states.</span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>Domestic Travel</span></p><p><span>Travel out of Lagos or Abuja is allowed only after a negative COVID-19 test result. Limited domestic flights are operating through Abuja (ABV/DNAA), Lagos (LOS/DNMM), Kano (KAN/DNKN), Port Harcourt (PHC/DNPO), Owerri (QOW/</span><span>DNIM</span><span>), Benin (BNI/DNBE), Jos (JOS/DNJO), Asaba (ABB/DNAS) and Maiduguri (MIU/DNMA) airports. Passengers must wear face masks </span><span>inflight</span><span>.</span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>Other Restrictions</span></p><p><span>Masks must be worn in public in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and all other states. In Anambra state, those out in public without a face mask will be subject to a fine of N10,000 (USD25) or be required to complete community service obligations.</span></p><h4><span>Demonstrations and Unrest </span></h4><p><span>Violence has repeatedly erupted across the country as police attempt to enforce curfews, leading to the deaths of at least 18 people as of 17 April. Protest clashes against anti-COVID-19 measures also occurred in Sapele, Delta state, on 15 April, in Aba, Abia state, on 17 April and in Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos state, on 27 April. On 2 May, at least four people were killed and 11 others were injured when soldiers opened fire to disperse a cultural festival that was being held in violation of COVID-19-related restrictions in Jen, Karim Lamido, Taraba state. Further related demonstrations and clashes are likely in the near-term.</span></p><h4><span>Strikes</span></h4><p><span>Healthcare workers have launched multiple strikes over working conditions and lack of protective measures. Public doctors represented by the National Association of Resident Doctors of Nigeria (NARD) launched a nationwide strike on 15-21 June to denounce a lack of protective equipment and unpaid salaries. On 24 June, physicians in Ondo state launched an indefinite strike to protest salary reductions. Doctors in Cross River State also went on strike indefinitely as of 6 July, over the handling of COVID-19 tests in the state. On 13 July, doctors represented by the Medical Guild Association launched a three-day strike in Lagos over pay and working conditions; doctors treating COVID-19 patients in isolation wards will continue to work.</span></p>",

Worshippers were also required to wear face masks at mosques. However, protests over the issue are likely to resume in the near-term, especially if authorities re-impose restrictions on mosque gatherings in areas on lockdown or with high rates of infections.

A further easing of restrictions is unlikely in the near-term unless infection rates are brought under control. </span></p><h4><span>International Travel</span></h4><p><span>International Flights</span></p><p><span>Authorities have limited international flights </span><span>through</span><span> Port Moresby Airport (POM/AYPY). Travellers must present a negative COVID-19 test administered no older than seven days prior to boarding. </span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>Entry and Borders</span></p><p><span>All borders are closed to most foreign nationals, except for visitors, mostly essential workers from Australia and Singapore. </span><span>An exemption from PNG authorities, a travel form and a negative COVID-19 test not older than seven days are required for entry. </span><span>The overland border with Indonesia's Papua province is closed until further notice. </span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>Quarantine </span></p><p><span>Those who have stayed at least seven days in Queensland must quarantine for seven days and others for 14 days at a designated facility or hotel.</span><span> Papuan nationals will be allowed to self-quarantine at their residence for the same duration.</span></p><h4><span>Domestic Situation</span></h4><p><span>Domestic Travel</span></p><p><span>Inter-provincial passenger flights resumed on 12 August following a lockdown in Port Moresby, but only for essential workers, business travellers, students, returning residents and those seeking medical assistance. All passengers must fill out a form stating their reason for travel prior to purchase of tickets which will be reviewed and approved within 48 hours; cargo and medical flights operate as normal. Travellers to Buka Airport (BUA/AYBK) in Bougainville must receive prior approval before arrival. For all other flights, passengers must first receive approval from the Pandemic Controller, fill out and present an Air Passenger Travel Form at check-in which can be found at </span><span><a href=\"http://www.airniugini.com.pg/travel-advice/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.airniugini.com.pg/travel-advice/</a></span><span>. </span></p><p><span> </span></p><p><span>Other Restrictions</span></p><p><span>Large public gatherings are banned and many non-essential businesses remain closed</span><span>. Markets, pharmacies, hotels and banks remain open. Social distancing measures apply at all public spaces and onboard public transport. The wearing of face masks is mandatory in all public areas in Port Moresby.</span></p><h4><span>Xenophobic Attacks</span></h4><p><span>Instances of looting targeting Asian stores were reported across Lae, Morobe province, on 3-5 April, as some residents allegedly blamed expatriates for the COVID-19 outbreak. As a result multiple shops were periodically closed in Lae's Bumayong, Miles, West Taraka and Bundi areas. Further looting incidents and possible assaults targeting expatriates are likely in the near-term if COVID-19 infections continue to rise. </span></p><h4><span>Demonstrations and Unrest</span></h4><p><span>Police officers stormed and blocked access to the Eastern Highlands provincial headquarters in Goroka on 4 May due to the non-payment of allowances from a COVID-19-related tracing and surveillance operation. Further related protests with the potential to escalate to unrest with police remain likely in the near-term if the government is unable to successfully negotiate with protesters over their wages. </span></p>",

Around 235 cases per 100,000 people were reported in the past 14 days, as of early August. An increasing number of active cases prompted authorities to extend curfew measure until 15 August, after allowing some non-essential businesses to reopen from 4 May and construction and manufacturing companies a week later, with retail outlets, close contact establishments and restaurants allowed to reopen from 18-25 May and international travellers allowed entry from 15 July.</span></p><h4><span>International Travel</span></h4><p><span>International Flights</span></p><p><span>All flights bound to Puerto Rico land at Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU/ TJSJ) servicing San Juan.

On 30 April and 1 May, protesters drove their vehicles to El Capitolio in San Juan to protest economic conditions in connection with the COVID-19 lockdown. On 7 August, protesters rallied outside Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in San Juan to demand that the government shut it down to reduce the risk of imported COVID-19 cases.

"local_text": "<p><span>Summary</span></p><p><span>The COVID-19 outbreak in Spain caused one of the highest fatality figures in Europe, behind only the United Kingdom, Italy and France. Following a nationwide lockdown, the central government announced a four-phase plan for regions to transition gradually to the \"new normal\", under which movement restrictions would be lifted and all venues can reopen with social distancing measures remaining in place. Following the end of the emergency on 21 June, all of the country transitioned to the \"new normal\", although localised restrictions have been reimposed due to a new uptick in cases.</span></p><h4><span>International Travel</span></h4><p><span>International Flights</span></p><p><span>International flights are operating at major airports, including Barcelona-El Prat (BCN/LEBL), Madrid–Barajas (MAD/LEMD), Ibiza (IBZ/LEIB), Menorca (MAH/LEMH), Tenerife South (TFS/GCTS), Alicante-Elche (ALC/LEAL), Region of Murcia (RMU/LEMI), Sevilla (SVQ/LEZL), Málaga (AGP/LEMG), Palma de Mallorca (PMI/LEPA) and Gran Canaria (LPA/GCLP). </span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>Entry and Borders</span></p><p><span>Borders are open to travellers from all European Union and Schengen Area countries and the United Kingdom, as well as residents of Andorra, Monaco, the Vatican and San Marino. The land border with Portugal reopened. Travel restrictions are in effect for most countries outside the European Union and the Schengen Area. Residents of Australia, Canada, Georgia, Japan, New Zealand, Rwanda, South Korea, Thailand, Tunisia and Uruguay are allowed to enter, following a European Union (EU) recommendation to lift travel restrictions for these countries. The country remains closed to entry from China and Morocco due to a lack of a reciprocal measure.</span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>Quarantine</span></p><p><span>There is no requirement for international arrivals to quarantine.</span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>Other Restrictions</span></p><p><span>Travellers must complete a health control form on the website </span><span><a href=\"https://www.spth.gob.es/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https://www.spth.gob.es/</a></span><span> and obtain a QR code to present upon arrival. The form can be also completed on the mobile app \"Spain Travel Health APP\". </span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>All passengers arriving by air and sea will undergo a temperature check. Those suspected of having COVID-19 will be subject to an additional health assessment.</span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>\"Radar Covid\" is an optional mobile app for contact tracing. The app is available for download on Apple devices at </span><span><a href=\"https://apps.apple.com/es/app/radar-covid/id1520443509\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https://apps.apple.com/es/app/radar-covid/id1520443509</a></span><span> and on Android devices at </span><span><a href=\"https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=es.gob.radarcovid&amp;hl=en_US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=es.gob.radarcovid</a></span><span>. </span></p><h4><span>Domestic Situation</span></h4><p><span>Areas on Lockdown</span></p><p><span>In Castile and León, a two-week lockdown is in effect from 2 August in Íscar and Pedrajas de San Esteban in Valladolid province, and from 7 August in Aranda de Duero, Burgos province. Non-essential movements in and out of these areas will be restricted and public gatherings limited to 10 people. Movement outside the home and performing non-essential activities are discouraged but permitted.</span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>Other Restrictions</span></p><p><span>Wearing a face mask is compulsory on public transport, public roads and closed spaces where social distancing is not possible until further notice. In Andalusia, Aragon, Asturias, the Balearic Islands, the Basque Country, the Canary Islands, Cantabria, Castile-La Mancha, Castille and Leon, Catalonia, Extremadura, Galicia, La Rioja, the Community of Madrid, the Region of Murcia, Navarre and Valencia, face masks must be worn in all public spaces, regardless of whether a 1.5-metre (five-foot) distance can be maintained.</span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>In Aragon, hospitality establishments must close at 01:00 local time (23:00 GMT) daily and the size of both private and public gatherings were limited to a maximum of 10 people. In Bajo Cinca, Bajo Aragón-Caspe and Central (including Zaragoza) counties, the capacity of indoor venues were reduced to between 30 and 40 percent and outdoor venues to 50 percent. Relaxed \"Phase 2\" restrictions - 75 percent capacity for shops, 50 percent capacity for bars and restaurants - are in effect in the city of Huesca. Non-essential travel to and from Zaragoza is advised against. </span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>In the Barcelona metropolitan area, Castelldefels, Gavà, Sant Feliu de Llobregat and parts of L'Hospitalet de Llobregat (Collblanc, La Torrassa and La Florida) in Barcelona province, La Noguera and Segrià in Lleida province and Figueres and Vilafant in Girona province, the capacity of cultural, public, recreational and sports activities was cut to 50 percent and gatherings of more than 10 people were banned.

Gatherings of more than 10 people from different households were banned.</span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>Shops, bars and restaurants in Palma de Mallorca's Playa de Palma and Magaluf were ordered to close, due to tourists and businesses not following sanitary measures.
