Alhaji Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Vice President, has advised Ghanaians to continue to obey all COVID-19 protection protocols throughout the Easter celebrations.
Dr. Bawumia reminded Ghanaians that the virus is still present in the nation and advised them to exercise vigilance while celebrating the occasion.
“As Christians across the world commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, Samira and I wish all a happy Easter. Let’s stay safe and continue to observe COVID-19 protocols during the celebration,” he said.
Dr. Bawumia also urged Ghanaians to focus on the Christ-like characteristic of self-sacrifice for mankind during the Easter celebrations, and to rekindle their desire to further create a strong Ghana.
“While we reflect on the sacrifice of Jesus Christ to humanity and await his return to save the world, the occasion should also reawaken our passion to play a part in Ghana’s development and growth.”
The Vice President also urged Ghanaians to use the holiday season to rekindle their desire to contribute to the country’s growth.
Akufo-Addo on measures
President Akufo-Addo has also ordered the security forces to ensure that the COVID-19 restrictions and protocols are strictly enforced.
“The Police Service will ensure strict conformity to these restrictions and anyone who flouts them will be dealt with in accordance with the law. We all saw how we let down our guards during last year’s Christmas which resulted in our active case count increasing because of our failure to continue to adhere to the protocols.”
“We have collectively worked tirelessly since then to ensure a mass production of the amount of active incidents, and the government, in collaboration with security forces, would ensure that these achievements are secured this time.”
