The Director of Public Health at the Ghana Health Service (GHS), Franklin Asiedu-Bekoe, has revealed that the service is set to review the Covid-19 restrictions and guidelines in the country by next week.

He stated that there is a task force that has been set up to review the situation across board and the report would be released next week to Ghanaians.

This development comes after the Minority in Parliament called for the reopening of Ghana’s land borders since the situation has affected economic activities of the border towns and villages.

Speaking to host of Atinka FM’s AM Drive Kaakyire Ofori Ayim, Franklin Asiedu-Bekoe stated that the review is as a result of the decrease in number of new cases in the country.
