Domestic Airlines To Demand Proof of COVID-19 Vaccination

The federal government is mulling the possibility of compelling passengers of domestic airlines to show evidence of vaccination. <br />The Minister of Health, Dr Osagie Ehanire says it was commonplace in many foreign countries for people to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination, in order to be admitted to restaurants, cinemas, nightclubs, even to board aircraft on international flights. <br />Ehanire says the vaccines being used in the country are trusted and are of high standards. <br />The minister said Nigeria had so far tested a total of 3,392,457 samples, of which 213,147 were confirmed positive for Covid-19, while active cases are 4,447 and cases discharged to date are 205,732.
