The Ghana Police Administration says it has revised its enforcement strategy to keep the public safe from the spread of Covid-19.  

The revised strategy, which is more focused on religious activities, requires churches, Mosques and other religious bodies not to hold services beyond two hours while implementing a mandatory one metre rule of social distancing between congregants.

In a statement signed by the Director of Public Affairs Superintendent of Police Sheilla Kessie Abayie-Buckman (Mrs) expects that the religious bodies would also ensure that each congregant wears a mask at all times and providing hand washing facilities and alcohol-based sanitizers for all persons.

The religious bodies are also to maintain a register of names and contact details of all congregants and ensuring that the place of worship has fresh air ventilation, rather than relying on the use of air conditioners.

“The [Police] Administration continues to appeal for public cooperation to ensure a peaceful Easter holiday season and wishes all Ghanaians a Happy Easter season,” the statement added.
