Tonga has no plans to open its borders soon

Ministry of Health’s CEO, Dr. Siale ‘Akau’ola outlined a number of issues that Tonga has to address before they open the borders to allow Tongans and people from overseas to enter.

“We have to make sure that no coronavirus will be transferred into the country, when we open our borders,” he said.

For a start, Tonga must have quarantine facilities in place before they open the borders.

The Ministry is currently trying to identify suitable quarantine facilities. They are investigating the possibility of booking hotel rooms.
