[COVID-19] Vaccinated Travelers Will No Longer Need To Self-isolate – FG

• The Federal Government, two days ago, set a deadline of December 1 for its personnel to get vaccination

Travellers who have taken the full jabs of the COVID-19 vaccine coming into the country will no longer be required to observe the mandatory seven days self-isolation, Nigerian government has said.

Chairman of the Presidential Steering Committee, Boss Mustapha, announced this in a revised international travel protocol into Nigeria released on Friday.

He, however, stated that such persons would be required to take a COVID-19 PCR test on the second day of their arrival.

Mustapha, who is also the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), said the revised protocol would be effective from October 25.

On the other hand, those yet to take the jab and others who have been partially vaccinated would be required to self-isolate, in addition to COVID-19 PCR tests to be taken on the second and seventh days after their arrival.

According to the SGF, inbound passengers must present a negative COVID-19 PCR test result taken not more than three days before embarking on the trip.

The revised protocol was released two days after the Federal Government set a deadline of December 1 for its personnel to take the vaccine.
