President Akufo-Addo has extended the initial one-month ban on public gatherings including funerals and religious activities by an additional two weeks which takes effect from Monday, April 13, 2020.
The Ministry of Information on its Facebook page monitored by Newswatchgh.com said the extension became operational after he signed the Executive Instrument to give effect to the new directive.
President Akufo-Addo on March 15, 2020, in an address to the nation, declared a ban on all public gatherings including church activities, funerals, festivals, and other events as part of measures to stop the spread of COVID-19 in the country.
”As announced already, the restrictions imposed on movement of persons in Accra, Tema, Kumasi and Kasoa, under EI 65, have been extended for a further period of one (1) week with effect from Monday, April 13, 2020,” the message said.
“All other provisions, including all exemptions in EI 64 and EI 65, are still in full force and effect,” the Information Ministry added on its Facebook page.
