Foreign nationals in Sierra Leone are scrambling for flight tickets ahead of a deadline to ban international air travel into and out of the country.
The ban is part of measures by the Sierra Leone government to keep the Coronavirus from reaching the country.
The Ministry of Transport and Aviation on Thursday said it had given airlines 72 hours, up to Saturday, March 21, to make the necessary arrangement and fly out their booked passengers.
