We’ve Not Introduced Sanctions Against Persons Who Refuse COVID-19 Vaccine – Gov’t
Government has denied reports that it intends to sanction persons who fail to take the COVID-19 vaccine.
It says publications to that effect are fake and must be disregarded by the public.
In a statement reacting to the reports, the Ministry of Information said no such decision has been taken by the government.
The media reports that made the claims cited Information Minister, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah’s recent press interaction at Peduase Lodge on March 8, 2021.
During that event, the Minister indicated that Ghana currently does not need to introduce sanctions but should it become necessary, some actions will be taken.
However, some media reports claimed, definitely, that the government had taken a decision to sanction people who do not take the vaccine.
