President Akufo-Addo has ordered a partial lockdown of some parts of the country for two weeks as a measure to curb the spread of the Coronavirus.
The lockdown has affected cities like Accra, Tema, Kumasi and Obuasi, the President said.
As part of the lockdown, the public has been urged to stay indoors, except for a few persons whose services are important to the livelihoods of the masses.
Meanwhile, Ghana has now recorded 195 Coronavirus cases as of today, April 1, 2020.
