Covid 19: Ghana Reopens Its Land And Sea Borders 2 Years After Closure

Ghana has finally reopened its land and sea borders two years after closing such entry and exit points following the outbreak of COVID-19.

This was announced by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as part of measures to ease the restrictions brought on by the pandemic.

While speaking in his 28th COVID-19 national address on Sunday March 28, the President said:

“As from tomorrow, Monday, 28th March, all land and sea borders will be opened. Fully vaccinated travellers will be allowed entry through the land and sea borders without a negative PCR test result from the country of origin. Citizens and foreign residents in Ghana, who are not fully vaccinated, will have to produce a negative 48-hour PCR test result, and will be offered vaccination on arrival.”

Ghana’s land, sea and air borders had been closed since the onset of the coronavirus in 2020 as part of measures to prevent the virus.
