THE LOCKDOWN IMPOSITION STATEMENT BY PRESIDENT AKUFFO ADDO
On Saturday, March 28, President Nana Akufo-Addo announced a lockdown on the Greater Accra Metropolitan Area and the Greater Kumansi Metropolitan Area from 01:00 (local time) on Monday, March 30, due to the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. According to authorities, all individuals are advised stay at home as much as possible for the next two weeks and will only be permitted to leave their homes for essential items such as food, medicine, and water, or to visit the bank and public toilets. Additionally, inter-city travel for private and commercial purposes, except for essential goods and services, will be suspended. All intra-city travel vehicles must also reduce their number passengers to observe social distancing.
The government is his quest to battle the COVID 19 impose a lot of restrictions on the people.
Our borders being closed. No funeral services, no weddings, no sporting activities and many other things.
It was really a difficult moment for us since it was first of its kind. It never occurred in our minds for once that there will be a time where lockdown will be everywhere. Most people were heavily affected especially the Kayaya’s and most market women.
Businesses were heavily affected. The only thing that saw booming was selling of food.
People were purchasing food items in bulk and other survival items.
I remember my lockdown face after some weeks
Service been done at home
The government at some point have to distribute food to most vulnerable people.
Whiles some businesses were affected..laying off workers and many others..online business too was really going on well.
We all have something that we really remember during the lockdown.
What can you recall. What did you learn during this period?
Were things going on well for you?
