Ehanire said the knee-jerk reaction of some countries was unfortunate.
The Minister also said even the World Health Organisation (WHO) had said recently that countries should focus more on working together, rather than shutting borders.
“At the moment we have no plans restricting anybody coming from another country,” Ehanire said.
