A team from the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) on Thursday inspected the COVID-19 measures in place at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) ahead of next week’s proposed reopening for international flights.
During the visit, the team scrutinised the measures at Guyana’s main international airport that aim to prevent persons with COVID-19 from entering or exiting the country.
The Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) earlier this month unveiled its four-phase reopening plan to facilitate incoming and outgoing flights at the CJIA. GCAA Director General Lt. Col. (ret’d) Egbert Field had said that Guyana will begin the gradual reopening of its airspace from July 1st with a controlled number of flights coming into the country. During a webinar, Field and other stakeholders also spoke of measures that are being implemented to facilitate the movement of passengers through the two international airports to limit the spread of COVID-19.
