Mr George Nkrumah Ansere, Western Regional Director of the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA) has hinted that it will be embarking on a mass enforcement exercise of the COVID-19 safety protocols in hospitality facilities and tourist sites in the region.
Speaking on Spice Fm’s Adzekye Mu Nsem in Takoradi, he said, the exercise is geared towards containing the spread of COVID-19 and ensuring the safety of the places and clients.
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo in his 23rd address re-emphasized existing restrictions on several operations including the closure of beaches, nightclubs, cinemas, and pubs.
He emphasized the need for industry players to ensure strict adherence to all COVID-19 protocols in their areas of operation and pleaded with restaurant operators to as much as possible provide take away services.
“We have asked restaurants to provide takeaway services and avoid seated services and in cases of providing seated services, they should limit the number to 50 per cent of current capacity”, he emphasized.
