President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo says that until December 14, the use of masks remains mandatory throughout the country.

This decision, he noted, is to maintain the gradual reduction that has been observed in the number of active cases of Covid-19 that are registered.

In his 17th speech to the nation, noted that the law governing the protocol will continue to be applied by the police service.

“On Monday, September 14, I extended my Executive Instrument, the mandatory use of masks for another three months. So until December 14, 2020, the use of masks will remain mandatory. “

“It is the new norm of our existence until the virus disappears,” he said Sunday.

According to him, the use of face covers “has served us well in the fight against Covid-19”.

Akufo-Addo praised adherence to safety protocols at schools that were instructed to resume studies so that students could write their final exams.

He urged the public to religiously follow the security protocols established by the government.

The president revealed that as of September 18, the country had 507 active cases of coronavirus, 45,258 recoveries with 297 deaths. These numbers are from 470,730 tests performed so far.
