China Overseas Chinese Network, March 21. According to the WeChat public account "African Overseas Chinese News" of "Overseas Chinese Weekly" in Africa, on March 18, local time, the government of Botswana issued new regulations on entry requirements.
Botswana's Ministry of Health said that due to inconsistent timing of booster shots between Botswana and other countries, and to make international travel smoother, Botswana's definition of full vaccination will no longer include completion of booster shots.
After completing two doses of the new crown vaccine, they will be allowed to enter Botswana, and there is no need to prepare a negative PCR test report.
Entrants who have only completed the first dose or have not been vaccinated at all will be required to provide a negative PCR test report within 72 hours and undergo a new crown test at the entry point (at their own expense). If the result is negative, they will be allowed to enter; if the result is negative Positive, the entrants will be required to undergo self-financed quarantine at the port of entry until the result is negative before they can enter.
According to reports, although people who have received the first dose of the vaccine or have not been vaccinated are allowed to enter Botswana, the premise is that they can provide a negative PCR report that meets the testing requirements.
If an entrant fails to fully receive two shots of the vaccine or fails to provide a negative test report within 72 hours, and is unwilling to undergo a new crown test at the entry point, he may face fines or prosecution, or even transfer to a court.
The Ministry of Health of Botswana emphasized that the new crown pneumonia is still raging around the world, and the government and the Ministry of Health are still fighting the virus.
The adjustment of the definition of full vaccination is to keep pace with the world and make international travel smoother and more convenient. It does not mean that the new crown vaccine is not required. The Ministry of Health encourages all eligible people to be vaccinated against the new crown vaccine to help people improve their immunity and resist Corona virus attack.
