The deadly coronavirus, otherwise known as the COVID-19 disease, has led to the suspension of a lot of activities that have caused a lot of things to come to a standstill.
President Akufo-Addo ordered a closure of the country’s borders on March 21, 2020, when the country had only recorded 21 coronavirus cases.
In his last address to the nation, the president announced that the closure of all the entry points (land, air and sea)of the country has been extended to May 31, 2020.
In as much as the move to close the border was for a good purpose several Ghanaians have called for the borders of the country to be open to enable movement to other countries.
