Covid-19 Test No Longer Required For Travelers – FG
The federal government has announced that Covid-19 test is no longer required for travellers, “irrespective of vaccination status”.
The development was disclosed in a letter by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), dated December 12, 2022, and addressed to airline operators.
“COVID-19 Travel Testing: Pre-departure and Post-arrival COVID-19 PCR tests are no longer required for all passengers irrespective of vaccination status. PCR tests required for all passengers who are partially/not fully vaccinated have been suspended,” the letter, signed by Musa Nuhu, NCAA director-general, reads.
Aside from the suspension of COVID tests, wearing of face masks is no longer mandatory for passengers on board aircraft, but recommended for persons at risk of severe illness.
