President of Ghana Nana Akufo-Addo has lamented on the drastic decline in wearing of face masks by Ghanaians in public places.
According to him the wearing of face masks continue to be mandatory as the country expects a third wave of the dealy coronavirus.
He pointed that anyone found of flouting the covid-19 protocols will have him or herself to blame.
“There are no exceptions to this rule, and strict conformity with this protocol will be enforced. Anyone found to be flouting this directive will have him or herself to blame. We cannot afford to allow the recklessness of a few to endanger the lives of the majority of persons in the country,” he stated.
”It is extremely troubling to note that the high compliance rate with mask-wearing has fallen alarmingly. The wearing of face masks in public places, fellow Ghanaians continue to be mandatory”, he stressed.
The President revealed that per the data available from the Ghana Health Service (GHS) the country is expecting a third wave of the infection.
