A statement by the GHS said: “Globally, several countries are experiencing their fourth wave. A number of travellers from these countries come to Ghana, and this is expected to increase during the festive season. This current surge in COVID-19 cases is being reflected at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA).

In view of that, the GHS has modified its protocols effective December 12, 2021, which includes: "all persons 18 years and above arriving in Ghana will be required to provide evidence of full vaccination for a COVID-19 vaccine"
