The Member of Parliament for Agona West, Hon. Cynthia Morrison has advised her constituents to do all it takes to observe the COVID-19 safety protocols this Christmas season.
The legislation said the Covid-19 outbreak was still with us hence the need for them to adhere to the protocols to help reduce the rate of infections.
The MP cautioned the constituents to be mindful of the negative impact of the Covid-19 virus as they celebrate the holidays.
It was the case of the MP that the efforts of the government in protecting the lives of citizens vs not be successful without the active participation of the people.
She encouraged them to take the vaccination as a means to help control the spread of the virus.
The Ghana Health Service had explained seventy-five percent (75%), of the positive cases recorded at Kotoka have come from passengers who are not vaccinated.
The GHS further initiated new guidelines to help contain the virus.
The Service beginning on Tuesday, December 14, directed that all visitors coming to Ghana have to be fully vaccinated.
Furthermore, all persons seeking to travel outside the country must also be fully vaccinated.
Fully vaccinated passengers coming to Ghana must, in addition, be in possession of a negative PCR test of not more than seventy-two (72) hours, and also take a mandatory COVID test upon arrival at the airport.
Children aged five (5) to twelve (12) will not pay for the test.
Any passenger, testing positive at the airport, will be kept in isolation, at a designated isolation facility, and a non-Ghanaian will receive treatment at his or her own cost.
