South Africa


Travel restrictions
On November 11th 2020, President Ramaphosa announced that the Government of South Africa is opening up international travel to all countries subject to the necessary health protocols and the presentation of a negative COVID-19 certificate.

The South African Government announced on June 22nd 2022, that the remaining COVID-19 regulations have been repealed. Travelers entering South Africa are no longer required to produce vaccination certificates or recent negative PCR tests.


Measures taken by the government
On June 22nd 2022, the Government of South Africa announced that the remaining COVID-19 regulations have been repealed.

COVID-19 health and safety protocols must continue to be followed at all times, including observance of guidelines for social distancing of 2 meters, sanitation and hygiene, and use of appropriate personal protective equipment, like cloth face masks, as determined by the South African National Department of Health.


Testing
PCR testing is no longer widely or readily available. The tests are currently being rationed for those who are very sick, with most testing facilities requiring a doctor’s reference.
With the rationing of tests being implemented by the government, it is difficult to estimate how long tests for travel will remain available. PCR test results are generally available within 72 hours. However, there are some reports of test results taking longer than 72 hours, and some testing laboratories only guarantee results within 3-5 days. You should check with the facility or laboratory for specific information on how long on average it takes to receive results.
Most testing facilities will return test results electronically by email and text message.

Hospitals will generally only conduct COVID-19 tests for incoming patients in possession of a doctor’s letter. The U.S. Embassy does not recommend any specific testing facilities, but is aware of several providers, including: Ampath Laboratories, NextPathology Biosciences, Lancet Laboratories, Dis-Chem Pharmacy, PathCare, Epicenter, Biosmart Laboratories, Travel Doctor, and some urgent care / day clinics likeIntercare. Several testing sites offer a drive-through option, while others have private appointments.

Travelers must pay for their COVID-19 test. Average cost for a COVID-19 PCR test is $50-60 USD (R850.00). Some private testing enterprises may charge up to $80-100 USD.
