NAMIBIA: Namibia removes five-day mandatory test for visitors
The Namibian government has removed the five-day mandatory test for international visitors.
President Hage Geingob announced that all travellers arriving with a negative PCR test result, not older than 72 hours, may proceed to their final destination in the country, New Era reports.
Initially, foreign nationals had to present a valid COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours before departure and then be swabbed for COVID-19 on day five in the country.
Travellers with a negative PCR test result that is older than 72 hours and not older than seven days will be permitted to enter the country.
Meanwhile, returning Namibian citizens or permit holders may enter the country with or without a COVID-19 PCR test result. However, if they present a positive test result or no result at all, they will be subjected to mandatory quarantine and testing or isolation, after arrival.
