President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo says he feels vindicated by the decision to mandatorily quarantine travellers who flew into the country when he issued a directive to shutdown Ghana's borders.
According to him, the overwhelming number of coronavirus cases that Ghana has recorded are all imported into the country by people who are returning from abroad.
“An extreme number, have been found to carry the virus. So, focusing on the importation of the virus and infection have proof to be absolutely spot on.
"We are now seeing the benefits of these measures,” the President told members of the TUC at the Jubilee House.
He added that the country will continue to look at an additional strong measure that will help deal with combating the dreaded novel Coronavirus pandemic.
Issues of lockdown
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo noted that when the country is locked down, the majority of the ordinary citizens of the country will be greatly affected.
He said, a responsible government is required to look at the implications of the decision to lockdown a country in such a time, before it takes a firm decision.
“it is important for us to take into account the circumstances and conditions. When we lockdown Accra, what are the consequences?” he quizzed.
President Akufo-Addo indicated that currently, his administration is looking at all the possible options available before he communicates it to Ghanaians.
“I am hoping that much sooner than later, we will come to an agreement on what those measures are and the Ghanaian people will be informed,” he stressed.

You see our Journalists use wrong words to describe what the President said. Frankly, the quotation in the paragraph did not mean "vindication". Aba Ghanaian Journalists learn how to write properly and stop sensationalism. It is not fair
I CAN'T LAUGH. SOMEBODY SHOULD HELP ME TO LAUGHH. DID I READ THE STATEMENT THAT THE PRESIDENT SAID HE HAS BEEN VINDICATED FOR CLOSING THE AIRPORTS AND BOARDERS? AFTER THE INFECTED PERSONS HAD ALREADY ENTERED THE COUNTRY AND ARE SPRAEDING IT LIKE SPREADING BUTTER ON BREAD? OH MY GOD OF ABRAHAM, WHERE ARE YOU? SAVE OUR INNOCENT SOULS IN TURBULENT TIMES.
What is the vindication about this Mr. President. Are you competing with someone? When you travelled with the diplomat to Norway you were advised to cut short your trip. When you were told to lockdown the port you did not listen, now you said we should recall to 3r March. Please Mr President your dishonesty is appalling Mr President. you never listen trust me if you mess and play with this thing ask DT.
really did this come from the president? eiii eeiii, So you are ready to play politics with this. This president not not not
Say some. They can't read let alone understand him. All that that they know is exposing their ignorance by commenting when they should keep mute. Keeping mute too has become an issue for them. NDC for you.
this country cant lockdown. even supplies for NADMO victims are squandered by NADMO officers who are paid and have no crisis to deal with. what happens when there is shortage of food and these hungry officers are giving supplies. Forget.
