It is the hope, perhaps, of many people that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo will announce a possible further easing of the Imposition of Restriction Act, 2020 (Act 1012), especially on public gatherings for us to gradually go back to our normal life.
The public's expectation for a possible lifting of the ban on public gatherings and gradually opening of our sea, land and airports has been heightened by the President's virtual address, last Sunday, to mark Eid-ul Fitr, the end of the month-long fasting.
Although, the President did not categorically state that the restrictions would be lifted by the end of May, some people appear to have jumped the gun, expecting that the restrictions would be lifted by the end of May.
But we know that to prevent the spread of the disease, we have to strictly observe the health preventive protocols outlined by the government.
Lots of people do not observe the health protocols, including social distancing, especially at the market centres considered to be a fertile ground for the spread of the disease because of the concentration of people.
