President Akufo-Addo has cautioned Ghanaians not to let their guard down although the country has received its first consignment of the Covid-19 vaccine.

In his 24 national televised address on measures taken to curb the spread of Covid-19, he tasked Ghanaians to strictly comply with the Covid-19 safety protocols and not discard them since the virus is still prevalent.

He said, “the rollout of the vaccination campaign does not mean we should let our guard down.”

“Let us continue to wash our hands under running water, maintain social distancing, refrain from shaking hands and hugging, and, most importantly, wear our masks, “he stated.

According to President Akufo-Addo, Ghanaians must “remember that the virus continues to jeopardise our lives and livelihoods.”

He further charged Ghanaians to adhere to the Covid-19 protocols to enable the country emerge out of the pandemic stronger than before.
