He noted that although Ghana has done well in tackling the pandemic, the virus is still lurking around.
To that end, he has urged all Ghanaians to “continue to comply with the measures put in place to deal with the virus. This is the surest way by which we can defeat the virus.”
“Zero active cases must be the goal,” the president added.
