Ghana’s President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has urged Ghanaians to be extra careful as they celebrate this year’s Christmas with their families and loved ones.
President Akufo-Addo made this statement on Wednesday, December 15 when he addressed the nation in a televised broadcast on the deadly disease.
“We should be guided by what transpired last Christmas, where there was a sharp spike in the number of Covid infection cases and deaths in the immediate months of January and February 2021,”
“We should avoid the repetition of such a scenario after this year’s Christmas celebration.”
He has, therefore, charged Ghanaians to take the choice of living responsibly this Yuletide season.
“Let us choose to live and act responsibly throughout the Christmas festivities, and remember that our actions or inactions will either help to end the pandemic at a much faster rate or continue to spread the virus in the country.”
President Akufo-Addo assured that enough vaccines have been imported into the country, urging all those who have not been vaccinated to do get the jabs.
“Let me state, as clearly as I can. The vaccines are safe. They will not harm you. They will protect you and your family”, he stated.
