The President Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo Addo in his 20th update to the nation on the novel Corona Virus has advised those with  with underlying ailments, such as hypertension, diabetes, chronic liver disease, and asthma to pay particular attention to their health during the festive season.

According to him with barely a week to the Christmas festivities, which bring in its wake family reunions, parties and many social and religious gatherings, he urged all and sundry to err on the side of caution, and observe the COVID-19 safety protocols no matter where we find ourselves.

The dynamics of the virus has taught us that, if you must host or attend such events, they are best held safely outdoors or in very well-ventilated halls, rather than in closed, air-conditioned spaces. Even when organised outdoors, there must be adequate spacing for the maintenance of social distancing. Organizers of such events, public or private, should ensure the presence of ‘Veronica’ buckets, soap and sanitizers, and must insist that patrons use them as frequently as possible.
