GTA enforces ban on beach social gatherings
January 6, 2021
The Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA) last Friday embarked on an enforcement exercise at some major beaches in Accra to ensure ban on social gatherings.
The exercise followed the President’s directive on social gathering and social distancing to help contain the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) disease in the country.
A joint team of officials from the Authority, the Ghana Police Service Swat unit and the media undertook the exercise.
They visited places such as the La Pleasure Beach and LabomaBeach Resort at Labadi, Titanic Beach at Sakumono and some other beaches at Kokrobite.
