The Federal Government of Nigeria has announced the addition of South Africa to the list of restricted countries where inbound non-Nigerian passengers are temporarily banned from entering the country. This announcement was made during a briefing on Monday June 28, 2021, through the chairman of the presidential steering committee on COVID – 19, Boss Mustapha. South Africa joins Brazil, Turkey and India on the list of restricted countries.

 

These precautionary measures were prompted subsequent to a spike in COVID-19 cases in South Africa and the prevalence of the variants in the above-mentioned countries in a bid to continuously safeguard the interest and health of Nigerians and to curb the further spread of the virus.
