PUERTO ORDAZ—Venezuela reopened its land border with Brazil on Thursday, nearly two years after the regime of Nicolas Maduro shuttered crossings amid the COVID-19 pandemic, local Venezuelan authorities said on Friday.

Maduro closed crossings in March 2020 amid a nationwide quarantine, allowing only cargo transport.
