Ivory Coast reopened its land borders recently, which were closed since March 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The country closed its land, sea, and air borders on 22 March 2020, as a precaution to stem the spread of the pandemic. The sea and air borders reopened after a few months, while the land borders remained closed.
The west African country borders Liberia, Guinea, Mali, Burkina Faso, and Ghana. Millions of people from these countries living on Ivorian soil had to take back roads to their home countries. Côte d’Ivoire had been relatively spared by the Covid-19 pandemic with about 800 deaths, according to official figures.
