Travellers from ten different countries seeking to enter Ghana were turned away yesterday at the Kotoka International Airport.

The action of the airport authorities is in line with the government’s travel advisory issued on Sunday banning travels from epic centres of Covid-19.

The directive became necessary after all cases recorded in Ghana were imported from foreign countries.
