Information reaching YEN.com.gh reveals that immigration officials at the Kotoka International Airport on Monday, March 16, 2020 stopped two Italian nationals from entering Ghana.
The two Italians reportedly arrived on board an Air France aircraft which landed in Accra.
Minister of Information, Kojo Oppong who made this known said the decision to prevent their entry into the country is in line with the government’s travel advisory following the COVID-19 outbreak.
“Last night I think there were two Italians who were coming from the epicentre and as we got the confirmation of the details, even though the aircraft was in the air, we had to make arrangements at the airport to ensure they do not get off the aircraft and they have been returned to their original destination.”
“So although we are yet to hit the 1 pm deadline today, some soft enforcement has already commenced at our ports entry,” he said.
