Addressing the Nation on Sunday, April 19, 2020, the President, however, stated all other social distancing measures are still in place. Churches, Schools both Public and Private, will still remain shut.
The President announced that the decision to lift the 3-week lockdown was as a result of the aggressive enhanced testing done by the Ghana Health Service.
