Namibia's Minister of Health and Social Services, Dr. Kalumbi Shangula, announced on the occasion of the 28th Covid-19 briefing on the national response measures on 28 May 2021 that the mitigation measures to combat Covid-19 in Namibia remain in force. According to the Minister, the new amended public health measures will come into effect at 00:00 on 01 June 2021 and will lapse at midnight on 30 June 2021.
The most important change - at least from a traveller's point of view - is that Antigen Rapid Diagnostic Tests will no longer be accepted for entry into Namibia at any Port of Entry. All travellers entering Namibia are required to produce a SARS CoV-2 PCR negative test result, which is valid for 7 days from the date of speciment collection. Travellers coming from or transisting through hotspot regions such as India are required to repeat the SARS CoV-2 PCR test seven days after arrival in Namibia. Travellers returning to Namibia within seven days will not be required to present a negative SARS CoV-2 PCR test result from the country of departure.
