Mongolia has reopened its borders to fully vaccinated international travellers, state media has reported, rolling back coronavirus curbs that had kept the country isolated for two years.

The move means the country of three million “fully opens its borders to international travel”, Prime Minister Luvsannamsrai Oyun-Erdene said, according to state news agency Montsame.

Declaring Mongolia open to fully jabbed tourists and investors, he reportedly said the government would “put efforts into creating the necessary conditions to ensure safety ... for all those arriving in the country for business and tourism purposes”.

AFP reports official advisories on wearing face masks, social distancing and hand sanitising remain in place.
