WINDHOEK – President Hage Geingob announced on Tuesday (Mar 15) that the wearing of masks in public in Namibia and negative PCR tests for vaccinated visitors are no longer required.
“Wearing of masks in public places is no longer mandatory,” Geingob said in a televised briefing. People in closed spaces such as on public transport or in indoor public meetings were however encouraged to wear masks.
Fully vaccinated travellers to Namibia are also no longer required to produce negative PCR test results. Travellers to the country, famed for its stark desert-meets-ocean-landscape and safari drives, are now only allowed to produce a valid vaccination card at points of entry.
Visitor numbers are currently at a third of pre-pandemic levels, according to Geingob.
