Former President John Dramani Mahama on Friday extended greetings to Ghanaians on the occasion of the New Year.
Taking to his Facebook, former President Mahama said “I wish all Ghanaians a Happy New Year.”
Mr Mahama noted that over the last two weeks, many people were nursing cold and flu-like symptoms, but with most people not going for COVID test.
He noted that the yuletide season was characterised by super-spreader events such as mega concerts, street carnivals and beach parties and urged strict observance of the safety protocols.
“The New Year season is here! Let’s be more conscious of our health as we pray for health workers because of the more transmissible omicron variant,” he said.
“Let’s also observe the COVID protocols. Observe social distancing, wash your hands as frequently as possible, avoid handshakes, use hand sanitizers and wear a mask.”
Mr Mahama urged Ghanaians to get vaccinated, saying “if you have, go for your second dose. Stay safe this New Year season!”
