President Nana Akufo-Addo has declared that travelers will no more undergo the mandatory PCR test for COVID-19.

As part of measures to combat the spread of the deadly Coronavirus, the Government of Ghana put in place a mandatory COVID-19 test procedure at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA) where travelers paid $150 to take the test before entering the nation.

In his 28th update on COVID-19 on Sunday, March 27, 2022, the President applauded Ghanaians and all travelers for cooperating with the government in the fight against the pandemic disease.

The President disclosed that, taking notice of the successes in preventing the disease, the restrictions on the population have been revised.

As a result, there will be no PCR test at the airport for persons entering Ghana.

However, the travelers will have to show a proof of their vaccination against the disease before they will be allowed entry into Ghana.

“From tomorrow, Monday, 28th March, fully vaccinated travellers into Ghana will no take PCR tests from the country of embarkation to allow them entry into the country through the KIA, and will not be tested on arrival.

“Citizens and foreign residents in Ghana, who are not fully vaccinated, would, however, need to provide a negative PCR test result of not more than 48-hours, will undergo an antigen test upon arrival at KIA, and will be offered vaccination there”, the President said.
