Health protocol for the Africa Investment Forum 2022 Market Days
Côte d’Ivoire has lifted the majority of Covid-19-related domestic measures and travel restrictions as of March 28, citing a decline in the number of infections recorded.
Note: To participate in the 2022 Africa Investment Forum Market Days, participants must be fully vaccinated against Covid-19. All delegates must be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 (two doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, AstraZeneca, Sinopharm, and Sinovac vaccines or one dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine) to attend the Market Days event. All attendees must present proof of vaccination in either digital or hard copy format in order to access the Forum venue. Registered participants will be provided with a unique bracelet to use for the duration of the Forum.
Domestic Measures
The wearing of facemasks is no longer required outdoors, but attendees of private indoor events must wear masks and adhere to handwashing and other protocols, as instructed by the event host. Churches, mosques, conferences, workshops, private parties and events, cinemas, theatres, sporting events, political gatherings, and funerals may resume at full capacity; however, participants must be fully vaccinated.
International Travel Restrictions
Fully vaccinated travelers can enter without restriction, while unvaccinated travelers must present a negative PCR test result not older than 48 hours and will be vaccinated on arrival. The country has also opened its land and sea borders to passenger traffic.
By definition, a fully vaccinated person is someone who has taken both first and second doses of the following shots: AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Moderna and Sputnik V, along with a booster shot within six months after the second dose was administered. A single dose of Johnson & Johnson plus booster is also accepted as full vaccination.
Yellow Fever: A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required on arrival from all foreign travelers nine months of age and older entering Côte d’Ivoire.
