Stakeholders effort in COVID fight

As Ghana toggles between mitigating the spread of the virus in the country and making efforts to procure vaccines,;the number of cases unfortunately keeps increasing.

In this regard, various stakeholders have called for the adherence of the safety protocols by citizen to help combat the virus and prevent it from escalating its current stand.

Adding his voice to the call, the President of Ghana,;H.E Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo noted that safety protocols were either relaxed or ignored and as a result reintroduced it.

President Akufo-Addo therefore urged the citizenry to adhere to the protocols for the country to emerge victorious in this fight against COVID.

Also, some stakeholders have also intensified the COVID education in various regions as part of efforts to mitigate the virus and also educate the citizenry on the new variants that have emerged in the country. Also
