The Kwahu Traditional Council has told its natives living in other parts of the country not to return home so they do not import COVID-19 into the town.

The Council has also advised residents of Kwahu not to leave the town until further notice.

These form part of measures taken by the Council to keep COVID-19 at bay.

“All natives of Kwahu who currently live outside Kwahu should endeavour to continue to stay wherever they may be in the weeks to come and postpone all planned visits to Kwahu till further notice,” a statement from the Traditional Council said.

The Council further explained that the move has become necessary because “there is a large population of the aged in Kwahu and they are vulnerable. Therefore, let us act responsibly since an outbreak will be devastating…Daasebre loves and cherishes all of his citizens and passionately appeals to them to strictly adhere to these aforementioned suggestions.” 

Ghana has recorded 132 cases of the coronavirus with three deaths.

So far, only the Ashanti and Greater Accra Regions have recorded these cases.
