IMPACT – HIGH

Djibouti has suspended commercial flights and implemented a number of other measures to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.

Key Points:

  • A travel ban is in place, and commercial flights have been suspended at Djibouti-Ambouli International Airport.
  • A nationwide lockdown has been implemented. Only private companies conducting essential business related to food and fuel, and so forth are operating. Government offices are closed except for ones providing services for water, electricity and telecommunications.
  • Applications for permits and passes are also not being processed at this time.

Analysis & Comments: The travel ban, commercial flight suspension, government office closures and other measures will impact the movement of people into Djibouti. The response to the COVID-19 pandemic continues to develop, and Deloitte will provide additional updates as information becomes available.
