President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has ordered that all workplaces must adopt a shift system and make use of technology to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In his 23rd address to the nation on measures against COVID-19, President Akufo-Addo said: “All workplaces, public and private, must employ a shift-system for workers, in addition to the use of virtual platforms for business or work. Conferences and workshops can take place with all the appropriate protocols. However, I encourage the use of virtual platforms for such engagements”.
According to the President these and other measures have become necessary to curb the spread of the virus as Ghana is recording an average daily rate of 700 cases.
“The imposition of restrictions on our daily routines helped in reducing the prevalence of the pandemic in the country, and Government has been left with no option but to re-introduce some of these restrictions in order to help salvage the situation”, he stated.
The President has further appealed to Ghanaians to adhere to the safety protocols in order to contain the spread of the disease.
