The Federal Ministry of Health (FMoH) has said it will screen passengers coming into the country, using Rapid Diagnostic Test (RTD).

The Director of Port Health Services, Dr. Geoffrey Okatubo, said this in Abuja during the Ministerial bi-weekly meeting on the update of COVID-19 response and developments in the country’s health sector.

Okatubo said positive cases would be quarantined and all negative cases would be monitored.

He said the Federal Government is undertaking other measures as well to keep the coronavirus situation under control.

He acknowledged that some people had experienced difficulties with the travel portal, noting that the health declaration certificate could also be filled out on arrival.

Okatubo equally stated that the health certificate form is also available at the country’s land borders, and that it is compulsory.
