The PTF also released the passport details of the defaulters, stating that they have been restricted from travelling for six months.

The PTF tweeted: “Presidential Task Force sanctions 100 Passports in Second Batch of those who failed to comply with the mandatory Day 7 post-arrival COVID-19 Test. PENALTY: six-month travel restriction from February 5 to July 30, 2021.”

While posting the list that contained the passport numbers of those affected, the PTF said: “The Federal Government is placing travel restrictions on the following passports due to non-compliance with the mandatory Day & post-arrival COVID-19 test.”

It would be recalled that earlier, 100 persons had been placed under travel restriction by the Federal Government over their failure to follow COVID-19 protocols, particularly making themselves available for test seven days after their arrival in the country.
