A week ago, Ghana's President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo lifted a three-week lockdown in two cities, Accra and Kumasi citing improved coronavirus testing and the "severe" impact of the restrictions on the poor and vulnerable in the country.
According to him, the decision did not mean the government was letting its guard down, saying existing bans on public gatherings and school closure were still in place.
He urged Ghanaians to wear masks when going outside and to continue adhering to social distancing measures put in place to halt the spread of Coronavirus.
