Until treatment is found, COVID-19 will remain a part of our lives," President Akufo-Addo said.

He stated further that, COVID-19 cannot put our lives on hold indefinitely, and "Ghana cannot remain in a never-ending crisis management situation, and that is why we have been putting measures in place to restore gradually some normalcy in our social and economic lives, as we learn to cope with the reality of the virus."

Akufo-Addo added that, "the most significant of these measures has been the gradual reopening of the schools to enable final year students at various levels of education finish the school year and take their exams."

Ghana's current confirmed cases of Coronavirus stands at 32,969 with 161 deaths. The Ghana Health Service (GHS) indicated on their official website that, it has also recorded 29,494 clinical recoveries with active cases now at 3,307.
