The Federal Government has released the passport numbers of 100 travellers who failed to undergo the compulsory COVID-19 test after returning into the country.
The Presidential Task Force on Saturday tweeted that the federal government placed travel restrictions on the first 100 passengers for non-compliance to the mandatory Day 7 post-arrival COVID-19 test.
It said the restrictions started from January 1, 2021, and would last till June 30, 2021.
The PTF also said the defaulting passengers have been notified and will be prevented from travelling out of the country during the period.

The country, which battles the second wave of the pandemic, is also mulling travel restrictions on flights from the United Kingdom and South Africa to curb the new strain of the virus.
