All the countries that have banned SA flights – or may soon – due to the new corona variant
Again not sure how much this can be trusted, Israel never banned flights from ZA (nor have LY restarted their direct flights anyway), and quarantine was already mandatory

I did a couple checks for other countries and found it to be out of date. I've used https://apply.joinsherpa.com/travel-...ate=2021-01-13 and seems to be more accurate as well as giving the date when last modified.

Also the part about "Masks are mandatory in public", while it is somewhat correct they are quoting the UK government about it !?

And the Netherlands have joined the party of banning flights (or rather passengers on flights) from South Africa, the flights from CPT and JHB apparently left empty:

Well crap...scheduled to fly to ZA vis AMS on Decmeber 26th, returning to the US (via AMS) on January 9th. I wonder if this plan is still doable/how risky it is. It appears the Netherlands may lift the restrictions sooner if airlines require PCR tests before departure. Perhaps I could re route through somewhere else on Skyteam...and pray that the return trips restart on January 1st or before. If not would be forced to take another airline. It doesn't look like France has banned...yet. so AirFrance may be another Skyteam option.

get a refund and fly QR or Emirates.....ME carriers are acting as transfer carriers anyway since they're not admitting non-citizens within their borders so they probably will not stop flying while everyone else does. At least I'm hoping that's the case for another 2.5 weeks.

Germany has drafted a proposal to literally stop all passenger flight from ZA till 6th of January. And then only Germans and residents with a neg PCR test allowed to land.
I just landed in ZA 72h ago. I bought a Miles ticket with LH for tonight on LH575 but I dont hold a German passport nor am I a resident. Lets see how fast the draft is being realized.
