The federal government has said diplomats from Turkey, South Africa, Brazil and India, will, henceforth, be asked to quarantine in government-approved facilities.

Minister of foreign affairs,Geoffrey Onyeama made this declaration on Monday during the media briefing of the presidential steering committee on COVID-19 (PSC).

He however, said there may be some exceptions.

“All diplomats coming from any of those four countries within the last 14 days have to, we’re afraid, quarantine in approved government facilities,”

“The only exemption or waiver from this would be for the ambassador of a particular country, and his or her spouse, and the deputy ambassador.

“Only those three categories of diplomats can get an exemption not to isolate, but they still have to isolate in their private residences or whatever, but not have to isolate in government-approved facilities.

“We had some issues with diplomats at ports of entry. The presidential steering committee decided that we had to come up with something that was clear that everybody, all the diplomats, would understand and not have the difficult situation that we were having,” Onyeama said at the briefing on Monday.

“So, basically, there are two categories of countries. As you know, there are four countries that are under a restricted protocol and non-restricted countries.

“Now, regarding diplomats coming from the restricted countries, or that have visited or passed through those restricted countries, in the last 14 days, there’s a special protocol that we have in place now. So, of course, everybody has to do a PCR test, you know, before travelling 72 hours before.

“But for non-restricted countries, the diplomats coming from those countries just have to have 72 hours prior PCR tests, and then within seven days, do a test in any accredited private laboratory.

“If they have not taken a valid PCR test, then they would have to be quarantined in government facilities. But if they do have a PCR test, they still have to do a seven-day self isolation at their residence. And, you know, if they do test positive for diplomats, and it’s a mild condition, they can be isolated at home. And if it’s moderate to severe, then they have to be in an accredited hospital facility.

“Now, for those diplomats coming from non-restricted countries, they can get special waivers on the seven-day isolation. And this will be applicable or available to high-profile diplomats.

“If, for instance, they are coming to meet with the president, or the vice-president, then they will qualify for a seven-day isolation, then the others will now be decided on an ad hoc basis as to whether they would benefit from that waiver.”
