A month since Ghana’s first coronavirus case: 12 major happenings

It was a day after President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo addressed Ghanaians on the country’s preparedness to fight the pandemic, setting aside one hundred million dollars to enhance the plan. Prior to this, he had ordered the suspension of all international travels by public officials, except for critical assignments which would have to be authorized by the Chief of Staff at the Office of the President.

Two imported cases were confirmed and other measures were announced to “limit and stop the importation of the virus; contain its spread; provide adequate care for the sick; limit the impact of the virus on social and economic life, and inspire the expansion of our domestic capability and deepen our self-reliance.”
