TUNIS, June 14 (Xinhua) -- "Tunisia has won its fight against the coronavirus disease thanks to the country's national unity," Tunisian Prime Minister Elyes Fakhfakh said on Sunday.
During his interview broadcast on Tunisian private channel Attasia, Fakhfakh called on Tunisians to be proud of the "impressive" results.
"We made efforts and we were able to achieve a victory," he said, adding that "Tunisia has contained the virus but care must be taken in order to completely eradicate the disease."
Fakhfakh declared that "Tunisia is preparing to open its air, land and sea borders from June 27," noting that the tourists who will visit Tunisia must respect mandatory confinement in hotels.
Tunisia has reported two new COVID-19 cases, bringing the total number of cases to 1,096, announced Tunisian Ministry of Health on Sunday.
The Tunisian government has imposed strict confinement measures shortly after the announcement of the first coronavirus case in the country on March 2.
The North African country has received several batches of medical aid from the Chinese government, foundations and companies since late March to help its fight against the pandemic. Enditem
