Effective today Saturday, December 25, all persons who do not wear nose masks will not be allowed to access any public transport service in the Greater Accra Region.
Such persons will also not be allowed to access public facilities.
Additionally, all beaches in the region are to remain closed to the public during the Christmas and new year festivities.
The Greater Accra Regional Minister, Mr Henry Quartey, who gave that directive, said the move was among the measures put in place by the Regional Security Council to prevent the spread of COVID-19 during and after the Christmas festivities.
He said the decisions were taken at the expanded regional security meeting held today (December 24) to discuss the pragmatic steps to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Ghana currently has 3,365 active COVID-19 cases, with the total case count as of today (December 24) being 134,555. So far, 129,921 people have recovered from the disease while 1,269 died.
Mr Quartey said the Regional Security Council had resolved to enforce the COVID-19 protocols to prevent the spread of the virus.
Among other things, he urged leaders of religious organisations to ensure strict adherence to COVID-19 protocols at their premises.
