President Nana Akufo-Addo has lifted the ban on numbers of persons who can attend conferences, workshops, and award events that have been lifted, subject to the strict adherence of Covid-19 protocols.
According to him, Football, the passion of the nation, will return in two-weeks; private burials, still, with a maximum of one hundred (100) persons, are being performed.
Addressing the Nation on 18th update on COVID-19, Nana Akufo-Addo said As of Friday, 16th October, the number of active cases has declined further to three hundred and ninety-eight (398), with forty-six thousand, six hundred and sixty-four (46,664) persons fully recovered from the virus, putting our recovery rate at 98.5%.
He said Thirteen (13) more deaths have occurred, bringing the total number of deaths, tragically, to three hundred and ten (310), out of a total number of five hundred and ten thousand, and seventy-four (510,074) persons tested. The rate of death, 0.5%, continues to remain very low.
“When you take a close look at the measures some other countries are having to take, including imposing night-time curfews and partial lockdowns, declaring a state of emergencies, limiting the numbers of people permitted at public gatherings, and mandatorily fining persons for not wearing masks, all in the bid to contain the second wave of the virus, we, in Ghana, have been spared all these developments and restrictions. We must, thus, be doing something right.”
