President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has extended the closure of all Ghanaian borders for another two-weeks.

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo directed the closure of all borders in Ghana — land, sea and air — to human traffic for the next two weeks, with effect from midnight Sunday, March 22, 2020.

The closure, however, did not affect goods, supplies and cargo.
