In rare move, Uruguay opens borders for residents infected with COVID-19

Uruguay has opened its borders to citizens and residents even if they are infected with COVID-19, a rare move amid surging cases worldwide, though passengers would need to travel in private vehicles across the border and be in a family 'bubble'. The South American country's government said the move was in 'solidarity' with Uruguayans and residents who were infected with the virus abroad. 'All Uruguayan travelers and resident foreigners who have got Covid abroad may return to our country at any time,' Uruguayan Health Minister Daniel Salinas said on his Twitter account on Friday.
