The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration is cautioning Ghanaians against travelling to countries with exceedingly high Covid infection rates.

Such trips, the Ministry said, should be postponed or cancelled.

According to the ministry, this is imperative in view of the alarming rate of Covid cases in some parts of the world including Asia and South America.

The ministry, in a statement, said it has stipulated guidelines for essential travels to such countries with high infections and guidelines for people arriving in Ghana.

“In addition to already existing Covid-19 protocols, all travellers leaving and arriving in Ghana are to note that only test results or certificates bearing trusted travel or biomars codes will be considered valid.”

Travellers are to sign up for accounts on trustedtravels.panabios.org with the same email address and mobile numbers provided to laboratories during testing.

“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 and 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,” the statement said.
