The presidential task force (PTF) on COVID-19 says it will soon publish the passport numbers of 100 travelers who refused to undergo the mandatory COVID-19 test within seven days of returning to the country.

At its briefing on Thursday, the PTF said the holders of the passports will be suspended for a minimum of six months for flouting obligation to test.

During the last briefing, Boss Mustapha, chairman of the task force, had said a total of 20,216 in-bound travelers refused to show up for the post arrival test they signed up, thereby endangering members of the country.

He had said the PTF had concluded arrangements with the Nigeria Immigration Service ” to impose sanctions on these defaulters for breaching the public health protocols, within ambit of the law.”
