Nonetheless, the GTA stated that the decision to ease the restrictions is an;outcome of engagements with the Ghana Health Service, the National Covid-19 taskforce, and other stakeholders.

Meanwhile, several industry players have lamented over how the closedown of cinemas and theatres have made them lose out greatly. Especially the filmmakers, musicians, and those who were most affected, the operators of the cinemas and the theatres.

  • You have no excuse to keep the cinemas closed- Kofi Asamoah to President Akuffo Addo
  • If care is not taken, there will be few musicians left- Bessa Simons

It therefore comes as no surprise, that Silverbird Cinemas Ghana has revealed;it lost about 2 million dollars in revenue after it closed its doors due to the pandemic.

The Business Manager of the facility which is one of many bearing the brunt due;to closure for over 15 months, stated that they also had to lay off over 300 staff.
