Minister to MMDAs: Enforce COVID-19 protocols during Eid ul-Fitr

The Greater Accra Regional Minister, Henry Quartey, has directed metropolitan, municipal and district assemblies (MMDAs) to collaborate with the security agencies to ensure that social activities during this year’s Eid ul-Fitr celebration conform to all COVID protocols.

In a statement, the minister called on Muslims to co-operate with various authorities to contain the spread of COVID-19 in Ghana by exercising care during Eid ul-Fitr.

“Due to the new variant of COVID-19, we call on all and sundry to co-operate with government in ensuring the safety of everyone and help curb the spread of the pandemic,” Quartey said.
