President Nana Akufo-Addo is set to address the nation on measures his administration has put in place to intensify the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic.

The 28th address, which will be delivered at 8:00 pm, is expected to outline key interventions that would be implemented going forward to reduce the spread and transmission of the virus.

One of the anticipated announcements include the easing of restrictions at the country’s land borders after they were closed on March 22, 2020.

Following the decline in Covid-19 cases, citizens, particularly those along the borders, have asked for it to be reopened.
