Ghana is the first African country to lift some of its coronavirus lockdown. The government said on Monday:
-nonessential businesses can now open
-There are still bans on large gatherings and schools will stay closed
-Masks are encouraged
President Nana Akufo-Addo said government was confident to do this because it had expanded testing and tracing. Ghana has had 1042 cases, and nine deaths.
