All travellers exiting, entering or transiting through Ethiopia are expected to present digital negative COVID-19 certificates at all points of entry based on the Africa Union's Trusted Travel guidelines. "Paper certificates shall cease to be acceptable and only AU Trusted Travel or Global Haven COVID-19 test certificates shall be allowed from July 1," the ministry said. Travellers entering or transiting Ethiopia from countries yet to comply with the Trusted Travel Initiative should use the special uploader available through the UNDP-supported Global Haven partnership (www.globalhaven.org) for Covid-19 test results. They can also get vaccine certificate verification, which is available both on the Global Haven website and the Trusted Travel check-in pages. "The AU Trusted Travel requirement applies to both categories of travellers: those travelling within Africa and those travelling from countries where there are labs integrated into the Trusted Travel system," MoH said.
