President Akufo-Addo has announced a compulsory wearing of a mask from April 20, 2020, as the government intensifies the fight against deadly novel coronavirus.
The President in his seventh address to the nation encouraged the wearing of face mask to prevent the spread of the virus.
“As the World Health Organisation (WHO) has recently advised, I want to encourage you to wear a mask wherever you go, as it will help you not to contract the virus, and keep it clean. If you own a business, or are providing a service, that is a barber, a hairdresser, a tailor, a taxi driver, a trotro driver and his ‘mate’, a shop keeper, a food seller, please do well to use a mask. The Ministry of Health will very soon issue guidelines on face masks for public use,” the President said.
