Abstract
This paper focuses on the policy responses of Ghana’s government with a focus on three areas: health, economic,
and social. Ghana has made several policy interventions in these three areas. The study highlighted the adoption
of the 3T approach in health, CAP-20 in economics, and free water and subsidized electricity for citizens as social
interventions. The study concludes that the measures undertaken by the Government of Ghana have yielded
significant results even though some challenges with delivery mechanisms are identified. The available statistics
as of October 25, 2020, on the COVID-19 situation in Ghana further affirm the gains.
