Wearing of mask is now compulsory in Ghana. President Nana Akufo-Addo has directed the Ghanaian police to enforce the directive.
Nearly 12,000 coronavirus cases have been confirmed in Ghana with the virus claiming 54 lives. About 4,000 patients have recovered.
In a televised address, President Akufo-Addo said that the surge in coronavirus cases was because of the enhanced testing and an indication that the deadly virus was still spreading.
