The development comes after the British High Commission in Accra on October 7, 2021 announced it will reduce the number of travel requirements for persons entering the UK. “This is a very positive thing for Ghana’s business community, especially when you look at the fact that the U.S. is also going to be removing the travel restrictions on transit through the UK. “Anything which opens up borders, anything which removes these artificial obstructions and is able to do so safely is a good thing for business, for travel, for airlines and for all stakeholders,” he added. Prior to the British High Commission’s announcement, some persons criticized the decision by the UK not to recognize COVID-19 vaccines fully issued in Ghana including the AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson and Johnson.
