Ghanaian President Nana Akufo-Addo has lifted restrictions on movements in parts of the country that were under a partial lockdown and urged citizens to wear face masks.
Other restrictions like a ban on social gatherings and closure of schools will remain in force, while border crossings will stay shut for two more weeks to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
The president said the decision follows a better understanding of the rate of infection of the disease, an enhanced testing programme and the expansion in isolation and treatment centres.
The capital Accra, the second-largest city Kumasi and the industrial city of Tema were placed under a three-week lockdown to prevent the spread of the virus.
The country has now recorded 1,042 cases of coronavirus and nine deaths.
