Nana Akufo-Addo said accordingly, the adherence to the enhanced hygiene, social distancing, and mask-wearing protocols continue to be the tools of our warfare, even when the vaccines arrive in Ghana.
He said by observing these protocols strictly, we are also making sure that the imposition of crippling restrictions and lockdowns do not become options for Government.
