Expressing his fear over the increasing cases, the President urged Ghanaians to collectivize efforts in order not to water down government’s enhanced measures to minimize the rate of the spread

“Our observation, however, is that the reduction in compliance with the preventive protocols accounts for the increases in infections. Fellow Ghanaians, it appears that we are letting our guards down. Now more than ever we have to adhere to mask-wearing, handwashing, use of sanitizers and social distancing protocols“
