Niger

Niger has closed all borders due to COVID-19. A state of emergency is in place. There's a curfew in Niamey from 7pm-6am. Schools, bars, cinemas and several other public places have been closed. Gatherings of more than 50 people are banned. If you're remaining in Niger, follow the advice of local authorities and take care to protect yourself from exposure to COVID-19. Ensure you have arrangements in place for an extended stay, and keep in contact with family and friends back home.

We continue to advise:

Do not travel to Niger due to the high threat of kidnapping, terrorist attack, crime and the unpredictable security environment.
