Burkina Faso: Authorities remove all remaining COVID-19-related restrictions as of June 7 /update 25

Event

The government of Burkina Faso announced on June 7 that it had lifted all remaining COVID-19-related restrictions. The move means that arriving travelers no longer need to present either a negative result from a PCR test or proof of full vaccination. Nevertheless, some public service offices and health clinics may continue to require the use of a facemask.

Authorities could amend any restrictions with little-to-no notice depending on disease activity over the coming weeks.

Advice

Follow all official instructions. Abide by national health and safety measures. Consider delaying traveling if experiencing symptoms associated with COVID-19, as they may prompt increased scrutiny and delays.
