Kojo Oppong Nkrumah told journalists on Tuesday, June 23 that government has taken cognizance of
arrests of persons not wearing the face masks while driving alone.
The powers of the police emanate from EI 64 No. 10, which makes the wearing of face masks, face
shield or any other face covering that covers the nose and mouth completely mandatory when in public
and leaving or returning to places of abode
“What government is doing is that we are engaging with the police to give the EI a purposive
interpretation when they apply it,” Mr Oppong Nkrumah said on Tuesday.
