The Netherland’s embassy said this in a statement released.
Although a flight ban has not been imposed on Ghana, travellers from the country to the Netherlands will have to undergo an additional antigen rapid test before departure.
“This requirement is in addition to the already obligatory PCR-test, taken 72 hours or less before departure. Exempted from the rapid test requirement are diplomatic passport holders, Heads of State and Cabinet Ministers and minors below the age of 13 years old,” the statement said.

Adding that the number of exempted categories of eligible travellers to the Netherlands will be further reduced.
“It will no longer be possible for essential business travellers, students and cultural professionals/artists to apply for travel documents.”
These new travel restrictions, according to the Embassy, will take effect at midnight on 23 January 2021.
