The Ghana Health Service has reviewed COVID-19 protocols at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA) for international travellers.

A statement by the GHS said: “Globally, several countries are experiencing their fourth wave. A number of travellers from these countries come to Ghana, and this is expected to increase during the festive season. This current surge in COVID-19 cases is being reflected at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA).”

In view of that, the GHS has modified its protocols effective December 12, 2021, which includes: “all persons 18 years and above arriving in Ghana will be required to provide evidence of full vaccination for a COVID-19 vaccine”

Apart from that “all unvaccinated Ghanaians and residents who are currently outside the country and intend to return within 14 days from the midnight of 12th December 2021 are exempted.”
