He announced the decision during a virtual May Day Celebration in Accra today.
“Government has taken the decision to extend further the closure of our borders for a month, effective 1 am on Monday 4th May until Sunday 31st May. We know that the overwhelming majority of positive cases came from travellers or contacts of travellers, so we have no option than to keep our borders closed until we are confident that we have put in place measures to prevent travellers from importing the virus.
“These restrictions cannot, and will not be a permanent feature of our lives. But they are for now essential for our survival,” he added.
Ghana has currently recorded 2074 cases of the deadly Coronavirus pandemic with 17 deaths and 212 recoveries.
