The airport is going to be more rigid in implementing yellow fever requirements for persons travelling to countries where there have been outbreaks of that disease, Minister of Health, Dr. Leslie Ramsammy said yesterday.
This comes in the light of several countries reporting outbreaks of the condition, which can lead to severe illness and death. At a press conference held at the Ministry’s boardroom yesterday, Dr. Ramsammy noted that there has not been any reported outbreak in Guyana for more than a decade and he hoped that there would not be any in the foreseeable future.
