President Akufo-Addo has revealed that while Ghana’s borders remain closed, its citizens who are stranded outside the country will be evacuated back home.
These individuals will however undergo the 14-day mandatory quarantine upon entry into the country to prevent the importation of COVID-19 cases.
Speaking in a televised address on Sunday, May 31, 2020, President Akufo-Addo said “our border, by air, land, and sea remains closed until further notice for human traffic. However, given that there are Ghanaian residents stranded abroad, a special dispensation is going to be given for their evacuation back to Ghana where they will be subject to the mandatory quarantine and safety protocols.”
