The Federal Government has published the passport numbers of
100 travellers, who failed to undergo the mandatory COVID-19 test after
returning to Nigeria.
Their details were published by the Presidential Task Force
on COVID-19 on Saturday.
“The PTF has placed travel restrictions on the first 100
passengers for non-compliance to the mandatory Day 7 post-arrival COVID-19
test,” the update read.
It said the restrictions started from January 1, 2021 and
would last till June 30, 2021.
The PTF also confirmed that the affected passengers have
been notified and will be prevented from out of the country during the period.
The Chairman of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, who
is also the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, had
earlier in the week said the affected travellers would be published before the
end of the week.
Nigeria has recorded over 85,000 COVID infections including
more than 1,200 associated fatalities, according to the Nigeria Centre for
Disease Control (NCDC).
