Covid-19: Control measures relaxed for some passengers coming and leaving the Lomé airport

(Togo First) - Travelers under 12 are no longer required to show their PCR test results when arriving or departing from the Gnassingbé Eyadema International Airport.  This is part of relaxation measures implemented by the Togolese airport, and it was announced by the ministers of health, Moustafa Mijiyawa, and transport, Atcha-Dedji Affoh. The ministers issued a joint statement on August 30, 2022.

The document added that passengers who are more than 12 don’t need to show PCR test results when landing in the country, provided they present proof of full vaccination. 

For non-vaccinated passengers over 12 years of age arriving in Togo, proof of a negative PCR test is still required. Otherwise, they will be subjected to a PCR test at the airport. In Togo, let’s recall, PCR test results are accepted only within five days after their issue.

The relaxation was recently suggested by the  National Coordination of Response Management against Covid-19 (CNGR) in Togo. This recommendation took into account a drop in the number of cases and the disease’s overall progression.
