This checklist helps to identify the necessary measures to be implemented to mitigate infection transmission among travellers and staff at sea ports and inland ports in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. It features key questions and considerations for gauging the capacity of responding to COVID-19 transmission risks and informing on reducing them at ports and in vessels. It does so in the form of a structured questionnaire. The guidance will have particular relevance for National International Health Regulations Focal Points and competent authorities at the point of entry, including relevant representatives of port authority/ies of the country such as public health authorities, and representatives from other sectors, including law enforcement, customs and migration.
