He also announced the lockdown of Bigger Accra, Kumasi, section of Central Location and Tema, which signifies people in the other areas can maintain funeral for the dead but with only 25 men and women in attendance.
But inhabitants carry on to set a hold on the pickup and the subsequent burial of their departed liked ones on hold.
“The 7 days in advance of the lockdown, there ended up families scheduled to arrive for their lifeless family but they identified as it off. All funerals have been suspended.
“But people should know that many others are dying from other sicknesses apart from Covid-19 and we would need to have to keep them at the morgue.
