“Previously, what we had was that if you are not a Ghanaian and you were not fully vaccinated, you cannot come, but now you can come. But if you come in and you are not vaccinated, whether unvaccinated or partially vaccinated, you have to do a “PCR” test 48hours before you travel to Ghana and on arrival, we will test you at the airport,” he said.
He went on to say that a lot of tourists will be visiting the country during the Christmas holidays and that all necessary precautions should be taken to prevent the covid from spreading.
“A surge in covid-19 cases among international arrivals is expected largely due to anticipated increase in the number of arrivals, increase in global travel with the associated risks of disease transmission, similar experience during past Christmas seasons, possible emergence of new strains of concern, increased activities in country also likely to contribute to a possible surge. The Ministry of Health and the Ghana Health Service will continue to implement the protocols on international travel as currently exists. Increased surveillance and monitoring of new strains and persons returning from countries of concern” he stated
