He stressed the shift system forms part of efforts to enhance social distancing in the market places in the fight against covid-19.

“I admit businesses will be affected as profit margins and sales will reduce but this is for our own good,” he said.

Meanwhile, he added President Akufo-Addo will officially announce the development soon as all discussions have been completed.
