In an interview on Joy FM’s A to Z, Mark Okraku Mantey revealed that the ministry aims at ensuring the safety of every Ghanaian by making them adhere to the protocols in order to curb the spread of the deadly COVID-19.
“We want to keep you and your siblings and your family alive because if we should come together at a particular place, especially indoor events, and we do not put some checks and balances in place, we’re likely to have challenges after December,” he said.
According to him, there are a number of precautions in place to prevent the spread of Covid-19 during and after the holiday season, adding that this will also serve as a safe haven for people who are celebrating in whatever way over the holiday season.
