President Nana Akufo-Addo’s televised address to update the country on steps being taken to prevent the spread of the deadly pandemic, among other things, ordered the indefinite closure of all educational institutions from Monday, March 16, 2020.
“All universities, Senior High Schools and Basic Schools, i.e. public and private, will be closed from Monday, March 16 until further notice,” the President said.
He also ordered the suspension of all public gatherings for the next four weeks.
