As part of efforts to mitigate the importation of the Delta variant of COVID-19, the Nigerian Government has released a revised travel protocol into Nigeria effective Monday, 25th October, 2021.
Chairman, Presidential Steering Committee PSC on COVID-19 and Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr Boss Mustapha disclosed this in a statement issued late Friday 15th October, 2021, in Abuja.
The SGF said: “Travellers arriving in Nigeria must present a negative COVID-19 PCR test result conducted not more than 72hours before boarding.”
Henceforth, unvaccinated and partially vaccinated in-bound passengers will be required to observe a mandatory 7-day self-isolation in addition to a COVID-19 PCR test on days 2 and 7 after arrival.
“Fully vaccinated in-bound passengers will not be required to observe the mandatory 7-days self-isolation but will be required to do a COVID-19 PCR test on day 2 of arrival.
“Persons arriving on ‘Business’ trip or on official duty staying less than 7 days in Nigeria must be fully vaccinated, produce negative COVID-19 PCR result 72 hours before boarding; and conduct a PCR test on day 2 of their arrival.
