President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo addressed them as heroes and heroines of the time of the pandemic.

“In all of this, I say a special ayekoo to our heroic healthcare workers, our efficient teams of contact tracers and testers, our farsighted scientists, our professional security personnel, and responsible members of our media, who have done a yeoman’s job over the last eleven (11) weeks in the fight. Your efforts are truly appreciated, and the Ghanaian people will always be in your debt”. – Nana Addo revealed.

He added that since the confirmation of the first two cases of Covid-19, in Ghana in March 12 2020 the health workers, security and media have taken giant roles in sensitising, containing and ensuring measures needed to mitigate the effects of the virus.

“we took timely measures to attack the virus. We decided that we would, (i) limit and stop the importation of the virus, (ii) contain its spread, (iii) provide adequate care for the sick, (iv) limit the impact of the virus on social and economic life, and (v) use the opportunity afforded by the emergency to expand our domestic capability and deepen our self-reliance.” – Nana Addo added.

Ghana has so far recorded 8,070 confirmed cases, with 2,947 recoveries and 36 death.
