Border Closure Extended

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo addressing workers in a virtual May Day celebration on Friday May 1st, 2020, held at the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC) indicated that"government has taken the decision to extend further the closure of our borders for a month, effective 1am on Monday, 4th May, until Sunday, 31st May".

"These restrictions cannot and will not be a permanent feature of our lives, but they are, for now, essential to our survival. As I said last Sunday, I shall be outlining, shortly, the steps for, systematically, easing the restrictive measures to bring us back to normality" he added. 

Stop the stigmatisation of recovered persons

The President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo also urged the public to stop the stigmatisation of recovered persons of COVID-19 as it will rather drive people away from getting screened, tested and treated.

The stigmatisation of recovered persons must not go on, because if the virus did not end their lives and livelihoods, the stigma from members of their communities should not. The overwhelming majority of them will continue to live perfectly normal lives, and cease to be sources of infections.

A total of twelve (12) regions out of sixteen (16) regions has reported cases of the deadly coronavirus.

Regions that have reported cases of the coronavirus in the country are Greater Accra, Ashanti, Eastern, Northern, Oti, Volta, Central, Upper West, Upper East, North East, Western Region and Western North.
