The Kwahu Traditional Council has called off this year's Easter celebration activities, following the Coronavirus scare in the country.

The  move is in line with directives of the President over the COVID 19 pandemic, an official statement says.

According to the statement released by the council on March 16, the authorities indicated that the annual Kwahu Easter and all activities together with some selected Public traditional activities have been suspended.

"All public engagements by Nananom within the Kwahu Traditional Council are cancelled," it read.

''Akwasidae should be celebrated with minimal contacts and restricted to indoor traditional ceremonies'', the statement said.
