The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration is calling on Ghanaians as a matter of urgency not to travel to countries with surging COVID-19 infections.
According to the Ministry, if the trips are non-essential, they could be cancelled or delayed due to the alarming rate of infection in Asia and South America.
It also added that “Travelers arriving Ghana are to use a tool made available through the UNDP-Supported Global Haven Partnership COVID-19 PCR test results certification verification”.
“All arriving passengers who test negative for COVID-19 at the airport are encouraged to self-isolate for ten days” while “all passengers arriving from designated COVID-19 hotspots and testing negative at the airport may be subjected to a repeat test on the third day of arrival at their cost”.
There have been numerous calls on government from various quarters especially, OccupyGhana for government to restrict travels to and from COVID-19 hotspots and also prosecute travelers found to have acquired fake test results.
