President Akufo-Addo on Sunday addressed the nation on the government’s management of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Quoting the World Health Organisation's declaration that COVID-19 no longer represents a global health emergency, President Akufo-Addo said "The world has also achieved the long hoped-for immunity, and with improved clinical management, the experts say it is time to transition to long-term management of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In other words, we can now breathe that collective sigh of relief. For, even though we may still have to deal with sporadic, isolated outbreaks, the crisis itself has technically ended. The pandemic trend in Ghana is similar to the general global trend as announced by WHO.
"There is no question but that Ghana came out of this global catastrophe much better than many other countries, if we consider the rate of infection, hospitalization and deaths. We must recognize that this happened because we worked at it in a focused and competent manner.
We refused to be swayed by the populist noises, conspiracy theory peddlers, false and uninformed analysts, but rather we relied firmly on the science and data-driven information for guidance.
Contrary to what some foreign experts claimed, we do have a decentralized, resilient public health system, which reaches every corner of our country with highly competent and dedicated health workers - a public health system of which we can be justly proud" the President said in his 29th address.

IF COVID19 PANDEMIC IS OVER , THEn COVID19 LEVY OF 1% SHOULD BE SCRATCHED OUT.WE DON'T NEED TO CONTINUE PAYING IT....RIGHT?
Yes, Mr has president has done well. If for nothing at all, he has made his family very rich. Indeed the true owners of Ghana are ruling.
We thank God for His mercy on us . We live by Gods' grace some got it and died but some also lived . Covid is evil but it opened other chances whether good or bad. It helps personal hygiene. managing time, online business, digitalization etc. It also exposes the weakness of various economy of countries. Its' bad side is taking our love once away and amount spend there. Somehow our government did very well . Some of our people took the chance to steal. In all this when the system is bad Government decided to increase their salary to about 76% which is unbelievable .When the economy is government expenditure still remains high. Even the international body is advising government of GHANA to cut down on its expenditure. Yet increase in taxes for the ordinary Ghanaian . We hope good fatherly love will be experienced.
