The exceptions for entry into the jurisdiction are Ghanaian citizens and resident permit holders. Persons from countries that have 200 cases of coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, within the last 14 days will be denied entry.

Airlines have been instructed not to allow such people to embark. Border posts have been instructed not to allow such persons into the jurisdiction,” the notice explained. “These measures would apply to travellers coming from the UK, or those who have been in the UK within the last 14 days.

Ghana has recorded six cases of the deadly virus, and rigorous measures have been rolled out to tackle the spread.
