Passengers travelling from South Africa to Nigeria, will be  subject to strict regulations effective from Monday 28 December 2020. 

The latest travel restrictions follow the discovery of 501.V2, a mutation of Covid-19 which is more contagious than the original virus.

While several countries have announced outright travel bans prohibiting the entry of passengers departing, or transiting through, South Africa, Nigeria has opted for a monitored approach.
