Ghana’s COVID-19 active cases over 12000

Government to introduce mandatory vaccination

President of Traders Advocacy Group Ghana, David Amoateng, has cautioned traders and all players in the trading community against the rising cases of COVID-19 and its effects on businesses.

David Amoateng stated that the re-introduction of COVID-19 prevention measures could be detrimental for the trading community as it continues to deal with the devastating impact of the pandemic.

He, however, urged his members to ensure they take the jabs as soon as possible.

“As I speak to you, I have taken the two jabs,” he added.
