Federal Governent has said that fully vaccinated travellers entering Nigeria are no longer required to take a pre-departure PCR COVID-19 test.
This Chairman of the Presidential Steering Committee, Boss Mustapha, disclosed this on Monday during a briefing on a revision of International Travel Protocols by the PSC.
The rule does not apply to passengers who are unvaccinated or partially vaccinated as they are still expected to take a COVID-19 PCR test 48 hours before departure, or do a Day 2 and day 7 test on arrival.
