NPP Stalwart, Henry Kwabena Kokofu has asked Ghanaians to make the job of the Police easy with regard to the compliance with the COVID-19 safety protocols.

The President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has instructed the Police and other security agencies to ensure enforcement of the protocols to curb the spread of the deadly disease.

The Police are said to have arrested hundreds of COVID-19 offenders in line with the President's directives.

Speaking on Peace FM's "Kokrokoo", Kwabena Kokofu advised Ghanaians not to wait to get arrested or punished before they mandatorily wear nose masks and practice social distancing as well as all other health protocols to avoid the disease.

"Let us not wait to be arrested by the Police because we aren't wearing nose masks," he iterated the President's call on Ghanaians.



President's Call

President Nana Akufo-Addo, delivering his 23rd COVID-19 update, stated; ''As we step up public education and enforcement of the protocols on public gatherings, let me also state that regulatory agencies will undertake random checks to ensure conformity with these rules, and the security services will be tasked to enforce them. You do not have to be arrested by the Police before you wear your mask, your workplace should not be closed for non-conformity with the protocols, if there is no urgent reason for you to be outside, please stay at home.

''Each one of us can help to contain the spread if we continue to practice the measures of social distancing, washing our hands with soap under running water, refraining from shaking hands, and, wearing our masks whenever we leave our homes. These measures must be respected by all.''
