President Akufo-Addo has officially announced that the Covid-19 outbreak in the country has become a thing of the past.
He stressed that COVID-19 is over in Ghana just as the World Health Organization recently announced, COVID-19 no longer represents a global health emergency.
“This too has passed, the emergency is over and we can safely lift any of those oppressive restrictions we have had to endure,” the president announced this in his address to the nation on Sunday, May 28.
He further revealed that Ghana does not have any critical cases with regard to Covid 19.
“Currently we do not have any critical case,” he emphasised.
According to the president, Ghana can “now breathe that collective sigh of relief” adding that “even though we may still have to deal with sporadic, isolated outbreaks, the crisis itself has technically ended.”
President Akufo-Addo, however, lamented that the free vaccines to tackle the virus, inoculating the people was very expensive.
He said “vaccination was expensive,” stressing that “fumigation and cleansing of markets, schools and other public places cost a lot of money.”
