No quarantine anymore for tourists entering Namibia
At last some positive news! In order to open Namibia once again for international tourism our Tourism minister Pohamba Shifeta announced that travellers to Namibia don’t have to undergo quarantine anymore, but are able to move freely throughout the country.
The previous regulations whereby tourists would have to spend the first seven days of their Namibia holiday in one of the designated quarantine accommodations to await their Covid-19 test results is thus off the table.
The new regulation that will take effect on the 8th September 2020 states the following:
- Only port of entry for international tourists is the Hosea Kutako Airport. Here a negative Covid-19 test has to be presented, which must not be older than 72 hours.
- After arrival at the international airport travellers are allowed to proceed to their booked accommodation and may participated in all activities offered.
- Tourists may continue to their next destination, but have to submit themselves to a test on day 5.
- On the 7th day of travel guests have to be reachable by phone to receive information on their test results.
- Should the test be negative the journey can continue as planned.
- Tourists with positive results will have to travel to a designated facility, where their will receive treatment of international standards at own costs.
We are thrilled about this positive news and the coherent signal towards international tourism, which is infinitely important to Namibia. We now remain hopeful that with this new regulation the situation can ease quickly and that we in tourism can speedily find our way to normality again.
