The Minister of Health, Kwaku Agyeman Manu, has stated that the government is fatigued by the increasing cases of Coronavirus in the country despite numerous interventions and public education on the disease.
According to the Minister, many of the positive cases could soon
turn into critical conditions if care is not taken.
He said both the President and Health officials at the forefront
are already tired adding that Ghanaians must take personal responsibility to
protect themselves from contracting the virus.
“If we don’t do that, the virus will continue to spread. Our
positive cases continue to increase if we are not careful the positive cases
will turn into critical illness. Nana Addo is tired. Those of us leading the
fight are fatigued because we have done all that we could to defeat the virus
but people are not adhering to the preventive protocols. So I am begging
everyone to adhere to hand washing, social distancing, and wearing of masks
directives to help save the country some money and reduce the stress in
fighting this disease”.
The Health Minister who also doubles as the Member of Parliament
for Dormaa Central Constituency said this over the weekend when he commissioned
a Police Station and CHPS Compound he built at Dormaa Nsesreso a border
community.
He added “In Bono Region, we have not recorded many cases, the Regional Minister tells me our case count is 19 now. The disease has come to stay with us, it is not going away anytime soon so all that we have to do is to adhere to the preventive protocols. Wearing or masks and hand washing not encouraging in Bono.
Some people have their masks kept in their pockets. Yesterday I
caused the arrest of some people, voluntary compliance is not working so we
have to use the police to arrest and prosecute”.
The Inspector-General of Police James Oppong Boanuh who was the
guest of honor urged residents to abide by the Covid-19 preventive etiquette.
He also warned the youth to desist from electoral violence.
