The Director of the Ghana Health Service, Dr. Patrick Kuma Aboagye has revealed that Ghana’s COVID-19 cases are on the peak but not at an alarming rate.
The Ghana Health Service has therefore called on Ghanaians to voluntarily go by the COVID-19 lain out protocols to decrease the infection rate and keep all safe as much as possible.
Dr. Patrick added that, there has been an alarming figure and that they are hoping to contain the situation as it is now. He also explained that, as of now, a thousand three hundred and over people are carrying the virus, hence the need to be more careful.
“But now, the figures are slightly lower and we are hoping that the figures drop but that will depend on what we do. The disease has a two-week cycle and during the yuletide, we kept asking people to go by the protocols but all to no avail.
“People are not adhering to the protocols but we are urging them to wear their masks (which is very essential ). We are also urging the media to educate people on wearing the mask.”
Dr Kuma-Aboagye also dismissed reports that the country faces an imminent total lockdown if cases continue to rise.
Ghana has so far recorded 55, 461 cases of the fatal virus with 54, 164 recoveries. However, a total of 338 people have succumbed to the disease in the country.
