President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo will address the nation tonight at 8pm on the government\u2019s management of the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This update comes as the government has declared December as a month of vaccination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last time the president gave such an address was on July 25, 2021, at a time when the country was experiencing its third wave of COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, all immigrants who have not been inoculated upon arrival at the Kotoka International Airport will be vaccinated before they can be permitted to enter the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All adults entering Ghana from December 12 must also provide proof of full vaccination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Justifying this move, the Ghana Health Service indicated that 75 percent of the Omicron COVID-19 cases at the airport were from people not vaccinated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further vaccine mandates are also expected to take effect in January, like inspection of COVID-19 vaccination cards of specific groups of persons in the country, including commercial drivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So far, Ghana has detected 131,840 cases of the coronavirus with 1,253 deaths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are currently 927 active cases in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Health workers have given at least one COVID-19 vaccine jab to 6,420,973 persons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The number of fully vaccinated persons in Ghana currently stands at 1,758,868.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The government\u2019 target was to vaccinate 20 million persons by the end of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of efforts to get more Ghanaians to vaccinate against COVID-19, the government had announced plans to prevent the unvaccinated population from accessing certain public spaces such as stadia and entertainment event centres during the yuletide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
