President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has indicated that although Ghana received free vaccines to tackle the virus, inoculating the people was very expensive.
He said this in his address on Sunday, May 28.
“Vaccination was expensive,” he said and further indicated that “fumigation and cleansing of markets, schools and other public places cost a lot of money.”
President Akufo-Addo further indicated that the Covid-19 situation in Ghana has passed.
He recounted his earlier assurance that “This too shall pass.”
He stressed, “The emergency is over, this too has passed.”
He further revealed that Ghana does not have any critical cases with regard to Covid 19.
“Currently we do not have any critical case,” he said.
The Ghana Health Service (GHS) recently announced that pre-departure testing and test at all points of entry were no more a requirement for all passengers.
The GHS also said that COVID-19 Health Declaration Form for international travellers had been suspended.
This was after the World Health Organisation (WHO) announced on 5th May 2023 that COVID-19 was no longer a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC).
