Coronavirus: Akufo-Addo extends lockdown by one week

The government has extended the lockdown imposed on some parts of the country by one more week.

Restriction of movement has been extended to One More Week subject to review. This means the partial lockdown in Kumasi, Accra, and Kasoa is still in full force.

He added that the success achieved has justified the border closure and mandatory isolation. However, the border will remain closed until further notice.

Excesses in the lockdown will be investigated later.
