Ghanaian President Akufo-Addo provided an update on the virus’s spread at his 28th Covi-19 address.
He explained that following a “assessment based on rapidly dropping illnesses, the relative success of the immunization campaign… and expanded capacity in the public and private health sectors,” the leader presented steps that went into action on March 28.
President Akufo-Addo announced the opening of sea and land crossings two years after closing all borders, predicting that the economy would soon recover.
