The Events and Meetings Professionals Association of Ghana (EMPAG) has noted with grave concern a video on YouTube of an event held at the Fantasy Dome in Accra on Friday, April 30 2021, following which the Fantasy Dome has been closed down temporarily by the city and national authorities.
The event, which was called ‘Pneumatica Night 2021’, was organised by the Christ Embassy Youth Church, Airport City. The video ostensibly shows thousands of people in the Fantasy Dome with no social distancing and minimal mask-wearing in total disregard for the COVID19 safety protocols stipulated for public events.
EMPAG would like to state categorically that it does not condone the flagrant disregard and flouting of COVID-19 protocols as stipulated by the government. While we commend the Ghana Police for the swift action it has taken to investigate the matter, we entreat all our members and all event organizers and venue owners to adhere strictly to the COVID19 protocols and guidelines as agreed with the Ghana Tourism Authority.
