President Akufo-Addo on rising COVID cases
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has lamented the increasing number of active COVID-19 cases in the country.
According to him, the number of daily infections was on the rise with an average of 130 new cases being recorded per day in the last two weeks.
“It appears that we are letting our guard down. Now more than ever, we have to adhere to mask weaing, handwashing, the use of sanitizers and social distancing protocols that have become a part of our daily routines,” the President said.
President Akufo-Addo, therefore, encouraged political party leaders and supporters to wear their masks at all-time even as they embark on their campaigns in the run-up to the December polls to help minimize disease transmission.
