Ghana has resolved to verify COVID-19 test results with the use of digital system.
The system is based on the African Union Trusted Travel and ECOWAS BIOMARS standard, and it is being implemented by the Ministry of Health through the Ghana Health Service.
A statement issued by the Minister of Health, Kwaku Agyeman-Manu, said:
“All travellers, Airlines and Diplomatic Missions, Port Health, COVID-19 testing laboratories and all other relevant stakeholders in Ghana are informed that only test results or certificates bearing Trusted Travel or BIOMARS codes will be considered valid for travel out of Ghana from 21st April 2021.
“Travellers arriving in the country must use a tool made available through the UNDP-supported Global Haven partnership ( PCR test results certificate verification) for Covid-19
“All travellers are strongly encouraged to sign up for accounts with the same e-mail address and mobile numbers they provided to the laboratories during testing.”
