President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is expected to give his seventh address to the nation on new measures taken by the government to address the Coronavirus outbreak in the country tonight [Sunday, April 19, 2020].

The address is scheduled for 9:00 pm.

The President throughout his addresses has been announcing changes to some of the measures being taken to protect Ghanaians against the deadly novel Coronavirus.

Akufo-Addo amongst other things is expected to update Ghanaians on the earlier 21-days of the partial lockdown within some parts of Greater Accra, Tema, Kasoa and Greater Kumasi.

Ghanaians within the lockdown areas will expect to hear whether they will continue to stay home or will be going back to their usual lives.

Ghana’s current case count stands at 834 with 9 deaths.

The latest address will put to rest speculations of either a total lockdown or an extension of the lockdown in some parts of the country amidst complaints from some businesses that they are suffering and require some reprieve.
