President Nana Akufo-Addo has encouraged all bereaved persons to conduct private burials of their loved ones, but ensure that the twenty -five (25) person limit is not breached.
According to him, some are burying their loved ones now, to have the final funeral rites later.
“The morgues in the country are becoming full, and will, in themselves, soon pose a public health hazard. So, let us act quickly on this.”
President Nana Akufo-Addo made this known as he addressed the nation on Sunday night, April 19.
He added, “To Ghanaians in all parts of the world, I urge you to remain steadfast in abiding by the rules and regulations that have been put in place by your host countries to combat the virus, and I extend the condolences of all your compatriots at home to all families abroad who have lost their loved ones to the virus. And, I take this opportunity to wish our High Commissioner to the United Kingdom and Ireland, my good friend, Papa Owusu Ankomah, who has been affected by the virus, and other Ghanaians abroad who have been so-affected a speedy recovery.”
