Information Minister-designate Kojo Oppong Nkrumah has announced there is likely to be a lockdown if the current increasing spread of the virus is not halted.
Addressing a press conference, the Minister added that the government will also not hesitate to ensure stricter enforcement of Legislative Instrument and imposition of other restrictions.
“There is a possibility of a lockdown and other restrictions. If this trend continues, then yes that is where we are heading. I have to be very clear on that one that more restrictions could be introduced if this trend continues.
We are being reminded that we all need to be doing the things we were doing, in the beginning, to ensure that this third rise is quickly dealt with because the dynamics of this third rise appear to be different from the first one. So especially if these numbers go up this way then just like the President himself articulated, then we are heading for more restrictions even if it means reviewing some Legal Instruments, yes that is where we will be heading”, he said.
The death has risen from 367 to 372 with an active case count of 3,613.
