According to him, the most affected age groups are those in 20 to 29 years bracket and urged the public to try as much as possible to observe all the protocols by covering and their noses with masks and others. He noted that though President Akufo-Addo has lifted the ban placed on free movement, all the other protocols are still in place and must be observed.

He revealed that there is going to be mass screening and voluntary testing of  commercial drivers, health workers, market women and the media because these  groups mingle  with a lot of people.
