16, 2020 in a national TV broadcast.

public and private, will closes from Monday, March 16 until further notice,”
BECE [Basic Education Certificate Examination] and WASSCE [West African Secondary
School Certificate Examination] candidates will allow to attend school to prepare for their
examinations but require social distancing protocols,” the President announces.
Many citizens reacts and says they need the president to close the border too.
Others counter the reaction, “Mr President closing down schools is a good thing but I think
it’s best students still stay in school.”

ones aren’t being identify yet”
Moreover, some citizens of the country says they love what the president does.
“Students using the public transport system to travel back to their homes might turn
agents of the spread of the virus. Something should be done on the transport system they
are going to use” one Ghanaian says.
