Sunday evening's announcement by President Akufo-Addo banning public gatherings and closure of schools in a move to curb the coronavirus incidents has given the capital, Accra a new way of life.
The measures to stop the spread of the coronavirus in most parts of the country have changed the normal way of doing things.
Busy campuses like the University of Ghana, Legon and University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) have turned into ghost towns overnight.
While a visit to the Makola Market shows many traders and patrons in nose masks and hand gloves, a drive through town shows children either idling around or Ghanaians making efforts to observe some of the health tips announced by the Health Ministry.
Citizen journalist and photographer Gerard Nartey shares photos from the busy streets of Nungua in the aftermath of the directive by the President.
