“Under the general surveillance, we have 401 cases that have reported positive. We still have the 115 travellers quarantined and tested positive and enhanced contact tracing in the last three weeks, we have 638 positives, bringing the number 1,154 cases as at today (April 22, 2020),” he said.
“Out of this, we have had about 120 recovered, It changed form the 99 in the last reporting,” he added.
Prez Lifts Partial Lockdown
President Nana Akufo-Addo has lifted the three-week partial lockdown imposed in the Greater Accra and Greater Kumasi districts.
This is in spite of the country's Coronavirus case count having increased to 1,042 by the time of the lifting.
President Akufo-Addo announced this during his seventh address to the nation on the outbreak today, Sunday, April 19, 2020.
Observe Protocols
Although the lifting of the restrictions may come as a relief to the many whose livelihoods may have been hit hard following the imposition, access to some major sectors remain restricted.
The country’s borders remain closed.
Further to these, all other measures including social distancing are also to be adhered to.
Additionally, suspension of public gathering including religious meetings, still stands; likewise the closure of all educational facilities.

Putting security men in town to enforce wearing of face mask is good, but at the same time giving me some psychological challenges. I am a highly educated professional and had hearing difficulties recently and had to lip read. I got some hearing aids but it didn't help. I work in one of the Government organisations. So now when all wear face mask, how would I know what others are saying? When I take taxi or may be use commercial transport, how would I know where the car is going since the mate or taxi driver would be in face mask and communicating with me? Therefore for security and health reasons employers should allow their employees with hearing difficulties to work from home, if possible, in accordance with Section 119 of the Labour Act of Ghana 2003
THE GOD WE SERVE HAS ALWAYS BEEN FAITHFUL TO HIS CHOSEN GENERATION. IT IS GRATIFYING THAT THOUGH OUR TEST CASES KEEP RISING YET GHANA KEEP GETTING HEALED GENERATION AMONGST THESE DEADLY COVID-19, WE PRAY IT CONTINUES TILL WHEN A VACCINE IS DEVELOPED TO PROTECT MANKIND FROM GETTING. GOD BLESS OUR PRESIDENT AND HIS TEAM AS WELL AS THOSE IN THE FRONTLINE, GHANA SAYS AYEEKOO AND NOT THOSE INCENTIVES.
The president should stop the 9pm 10pm news he reads and come and tell us why the number keeps increasing and yet he has lifted the lockdown?
