After a ‘rain of tears’ fell on the Presidency for its ban on public gatherings which included church service, Islamic gatherings, festivals, seminars, and many others excluding night clubs, the presidency has finally made a u-turn.
President Nana Addo Danquah Akuffo-Addo, Today, March 19, 2020, has effected a ban on all social gatherings with the exception of nightclubs when he addressed the nation last Sunday.
This comes after Ghana confirmed its ninth case of coronavirus within a week.
During a presidential breakfast prayer meeting with the Christain community today at the Jubilee House, President Akuffo-Addo announced a ban on nightclubs effective from today.
“Yes, we’re screening all persons at our points of entry…yes, we’ve suspended all public gathering including those at nightclubs; yes we have closed down all schools till further notice…” the President said in his opening remark during the prayer meeting.
“...as a Christian, I know the healing power and saving grace of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ because in Him we live, move and have our being,” he added.
