The Ghanaian government has scrapped COVID-19 restrictions in the country, reversed mandatory mask-wearing and reopened its land and sea borders on Monday.
President Nana Akufo-Addo of Ghana in a broadcast on Sunday night directed that the wearing of masks in the country is no longer mandatory, noting that active Covid-19 cases have dropped below 100.
President Afuko-Addo also ordered the resumption of outdoor activities in full capacity as long as all persons are fully vaccinated.

“I appeal to all of us to live responsibly, protect ourselves at all times.”
