“The council of ministers approved proposals for a partial reopening of Algeria’s land and air borders at the start of June,” the presidency said in a statement after a cabinet meeting.

Five daily flights will operate from three cities. Passengers will be flown to and from Algiers, Constantine and Oran airports from June 1.

The African nation has kept its borders closed for the better part of 2020, and on March 17, 2021 a solid year had passed since the closure. Nationals who were abroad were brought back home and quarantined.
