Government of Ghana is considering cancelling flights from the U.K to Ghana, following the outbreak of a new coronavirus strain in South East England.
According to the Minister of Information, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, the country is monitoring the situation before any stringent measures would be taken.
The World Health Organization (WHO) had described the 'new' strain of the virus spreading in the U.K. is reported to be more infectious.
The new strain has prompted dozens of countries in the European Union and around the world to close their borders to travellers from the U.K.

In light of the situation, Mr Oppong Nkrumah said stringent measures will be taken by Ghana if the need arises.
“All cards remain on the table. Ghana has two layers of prevention for international travel but we (Government) continue to observe and if need be and some changes need to take place, it will be done accordingly.”
“That is why, despite the fact that we see commentary on platforms that close flights from the UK, close flights from the US, we are guided by the layers of prevention we have rolled out, but we continue to monitor the situation.”
