SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador – El Salvador will ban entry to all foreigners for a period of 21 days in a bid to curb the spread of the coronavirus, the Central American country’s president announced Wednesday, March 11.
President Nayib Bukele said on state television that immigration authorities would prohibit entry “of any foreigner who is not a resident or diplomat in Salvadoran territory.”
