Information Minister, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah has ascribed the rapid increase in confirmed cases of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) in Ghana to enhanced tracing and testing efforts by the government.
He noted that other measures such as the mandatory quarantine systems have contributed to the detection of otherwise unknown COVID-19 cases in the country.
Hon. Oppong Nkrumah in a tweet stated that these cases would have been with Ghanaian public unnoticed if these “enhanced” measures had not been introduced.
“It is interesting to note that if we hadn’t as a country stepped up our approach to be ahead and go after the virus we would be reporting only 292 cases by now. The mix of measures to aggressively go in search of it while limiting importation is the reason for which we have found 274 more cases.”
“The enhanced tracing and testing coupled with the mandatory quarantine systems are yielding results. Had we not adopted this approach, the 274 extra will be with us potentially continuously spreading the virus. We encourage all persons to comply with the measures and spread more knowledge and facts to help us all.”
