“ Government has taken the decision to extend further the closure of our borders for a month, effective 1 am on Monday 4th May until Sunday 31st May. We know that the overwhelming majority of positive cases came from travellers or contacts of travellers, so we have no option than to keep our borders closed until we are confident that we have put in place measures to prevent travellers from importing the virus”. He said.
Ghana has now recorded a total of 2,074 cases of COVID-19 with 212 recoveries and 17 deaths.
