The officials at Ghana’s major international travel hub, Kotoka International Airport, have announced that all new international arrivals will be required to take a PCR test.
The test could be administered at any of the over 70 sampling collection booths set-up at the upper level of the Arrival Hall, with the results being ready within 15 minutes.
A state-of-the-art laboratory, which is being set-up at the upper level of the Arrival Hall to process the samples, will transmit the results electronically to the port health stations in the main arrival hall before a passenger gets there.
Passengers will not be required to quarantine after the PCR test confirms a negative test however, those who will test positive will be required to return to their countries of origin with immediate effect.
