Information Minister, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, says lockdowns and curfews may be imposed if the country begins to experience increase in cases of the coronavirus pandemic after the lifting of the partial lockdown.
His comment, comes after President Nana Akufo-Addo on Sunday lifted a three-week partial lockdown imposed in the Greater Accra region, Greater Kumasi, Tema and Kasoa.
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen, the sector minister, mentioned that the lockdown lifting does not mean “we are out of the pandemic and there is the need for strict adherence to the safety protocols,”
“There would be lockdown plus curfew in districts or areas where infections would be high going forward,” he emphasized.
He however, adds that the Ghana Health Service will continue with a simpler and faster testing across the country despite the lifting of the lockdown.
