President Nana Akufo-Addo has extended the suspension of public and social gatherings by two (2) more weeks.
"I have accordingly by Executive Instrument, extended for another two (2) weeks, the suspension of all social and public gatherings as set out in E.I 64 of 15th March 2020, effective tomorrow 1 am, Monday, 27th April," he said in his 8th Address to Ghanaians on Measures Taken Against Spread of Coronavirus on Sunday evening.
According to the President, “the existing measures must be maintained for now, until we have a firm grip on the movement of the virus. This consensus is supported by data and science, and I am also very much of this view".
However, “Private burials are permitted, but with limited numbers, not exceeding twenty-five (25) in attendance,”
If you may recall, the ban on all public gatherings was declared by President Akufo-Addo on March 15, 2020, in a televised broadcast, which included conferences, workshops, funerals, festivals, political rallies, church activities, and other related events as part of measures to stop the spread of coronavirus in the country.

Are talking about the detergent president?
Hypocrite Akufo Addo, you want the EC to do the new voter registrar so you are going to left the ban. Now I have seen how hypocrite you are. So all the closing of the school and churches etc, now is ***barred word***.
IS THIS MENTALLY RETARDED APPROACH CORRECT? YOU SPENT THREE YEARS OF FOUR YEAR TENURE AUDITING ON GOING MAJOR HOSPITALS ACROSS GHANA. SHAMEFULLY AND BANKRUPT OF IDEAS, YOU FAIL TO OPEN ULTRA MODERN LEGON HOSPITAL. YOU HAVE LESS THAN SIX MONTHS TO YOUR TENURE, YOU WANT TO BUILD 88 HOSPITALS. BE BOLD AND TELL GHANAIAN HOW HOSPITALS YOU BUILT IN THE PAST 3 YEARS TO CONVINCE US THAT U CAN BUILD 88 HOSPITALS IN 6 MONTHS. CONCERT OR A CON MAN.
Please let us deal with circumspect and stop attacking the President. You guys are lucky to have this man. Here in America different, you have to shoulder every bill concerning corvid-19
88 district hospitals before December 7th . Is it campaign message or what. Engage the media and answer demanding questions on corona virus. The youth is focused and wide awake. Does it make sense to abandon ongoing hospital project to put up new ones. Is NPP leadership in menopause or what
Am sure this uselees broadcast without engagement is NPP's corona virus campaign for 2020. The people of my hometown Kumawu would be stupiiiid to allow the president build 88 district hospitals without completing Kumawu hospital. THE CHIEF AND PEOPLE OF KUMAWU MUST DEMAND THE HOSPITAL IS COMPLETED AS PART OF DISTRICT HOSPITAL. LONG LIVE KUMAWU, LONG LIVE GHANA
When all president are seriously meeting cross section of the media to answer serious question on COVID 19, this one has been caged in the Flagstaff house only engages in sweet talk. We are looking forward to eradicating the COVID 19 increased numbers but this man is here talking about building new hospitals when there are so many new hospitals which are just near completion stage and need to be finished. Listening to this speech, it was as if he was launching his 2020 campaign. Most of the stuff he said about COVID 19 were repeated lines in previous address and probably the new increased numbers. But what every one expected is new measures aimed at fighting this aggressively. He is the first African president to have lifted lockdown in 3 weeks, and is banking his hope on God who has already given him common sense to deal with the situation. He is looking forward to God coming down to solve the problem for him. Even trump is answering questions and not reading speeches.
