Ghana extends border closure to one month effective Monday May 2020
President Akufo Addo lift ban on Lockdown
President Nana Akufo-Addo has lifted restrictions imposed on the movement of persons within some parts of the country.
Addressing the nation in a televised broadcast, the President said the decision which takes effect from Monday, April 20, follows achievements made with aggressive contact tracing and enhanced testing capacities which have made it possible to contain the spread in Ghana.
The initial two-week restrictions imposed on these areas saw a further seven days extension as the nation waited for test results from some 14,000 samples taken, the President stated in his last address to the nation.
He explained noted that, with Ghana having received the test results of some 68,591 contacts, and with the majority of tests being undertaken over the last 3 weeks, 1,042 persons, i.e. 1.5%, have been confirmed as positive, with 67,549, i.e. 98.5%, testing negative.
Additionally, 99 persons have recovered and have been discharged, with 930 persons, who have been isolated responding to treatment either in their homes or in treatment facilities.
In effect, the President stressed that Monday, April 20, “will see the partial lockdown in Accra and Kumasi being lifted.”
Although the lifting of the restrictions may come as a reprieve to the many whose livelihoods may have been hit hard following the imposition, access to some major sectors remains restricted.
Th country’s borders remain closed.
Also, the ban on social gatherings, including religious gatherings as well as the strict adherence social distancing protocol, remain in place, the President

Madina main market closed until further notice
The La Nkwantanang-Madina Municipal Assembly has announced the closure of the Madina main market for trading activities until further notice.
The affected areas include; Doku, Nkulenu, Market Drive, Asante & Asante, and Nkwantanang
Roads, the Market Loading Bay, Car park and the Main Market.
The members of the Municipal Security Council (MUSEC) arrived at the decision due to the failure of traders to adhere to the social distancing protocols issued by the President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
Ms Jennifer Dede Afagbedzi, the Municipal Chief Executive, in a statement issued to the Ghana News Agency (GNA), said the move has become necessary as the continuous abuse of the safety precaution would have dire consequences on the control of the COVID-19 pandemic in the country.
Meanwhile, all affected traders are advised to move to the BOHYE Market at Redco and Madina New Road Market to continue their trading activities.
It hoped that the leaders and market Queens would meet with the traders to arrive at the best practices to ensure adherence to the social distancing protocol, adding “any inconvenience caused is deeply regretted”.

Two cases of coronavirus confirmed in Ghana
