GHANA REOPENS LAND AND SEA BORDERS
The President of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has announced the reopening of Ghana's land and sea borders effective March 28, 2022. The land and sea borders were closed in March 2020 to curb the spread of the COVID-19 outbreak.
He announced this as part of measures to ease the restrictions brought on by the pandemic in light of the reduced active cases in the country. Reopening the borders is also to lessen the economic impact on various sectors of the economy brought on by the pandemic.
