Celebrities and social media influencers are joining the #MaskingForAFriend campaign to encourage the wearing of face masks to protect others.
The campaign seeks to spread accurate information about the benefits of masking, particularly for those around us.
Since President Akufo-Addo lifted the ban on restrictions of movement, wearing of face masks has become compulsory for all.
Also, Ghanaians are being urged to adhere strictly to all protocols outlined by the Ghana Health Service to prevent the spread of the virus.
Latest to join the campaign is renowed actress and model, Haillie Sumney.
Taking to social media to endorse the initiative the model wrote “As we start to navigate life beyond the stay-at-home orders, we likely will need to continue to use face masks if we want to prevent continued transmission.
"A mask, alongside frequent handwashing and physical distancing measures, like staying at least 6 feet (2 meters) apart, reduces that risk.”
Meanwhile, actor Elikem Kumordzie through his clothing line has released designer face masks to encourage fans to protect themselves and their friends while staying fashionable.
