He urged all Ghanaians to make this sacrifice by observing Easter at home.

Stay at home. I ask you to keep your distance from your parents, grandparents and extended family, and celebrate this holiday apart. Do not host a big family gathering, and sternly refuse to attend one if you are invited. Your relatives will understand you are doing this out of love for them. Please, make that sacrifice,” President Akufo-Addo pleaded.
