Togbe Afede XIV in a statement has thus encouraged traditional authorities to lead special traditional prayers and rites to purify their communities.
Christians across Ghana today [Wednesday], observed a national day of prayer and fasting to seek divine intervention in the wake of the Covid-19 outbreak.
President Akufo-Addo in a televised address charged Ghanaians to go down on their knees for God to have mercy on a country of 30 million people as the pandemic spreads across the globe.
Ghana has been hit with 68 cases of the novel Covid-19 disease with three deaths.

pandemic.
