The Ghana Disease Surveillance Department (DSD) has released
another update on the active cases of Covid-19 in the country, in a tweet
issued by the DSD 58 minutes ago, the Covid-19 cases in Ghana as at 31st
January, 2021 shows that the country is not as safe as we all take it to be.
The number of active cases in the country has now risen to 5,786,with a total
of 68,559 confirmed cases, 777 new cases, 433 deaths and a total of 62,340
recoveries/discharge. See screenshot photo from the Disease Surveillance
Department official twitter handle below, (photos).
The number of new cases is very high almost getting to a
thousand, this is as result of failure of citizens to adhere to the
instructions given by the government, on how to prevent the disease from
spreading very rapidly as it is now. From the information above, if the country
continue to record more cases, then the government will have no choice than to
impose Lockdown for some weeks, because that seems to be the only remedy for
now that the government can use to curb the spread of Covid-19 in the
country,but the government will not think of imposing Lockdown if we all adhere
strictly to the safety precautions given.
As a good citizen of Ghana, let’s have it at the back of our
mind that Covid-19 is still out there, and anybody can contract the virus,
therfore, remember to always mask up whenever you are going out for any
occasion, and don’t forget to wash your hands with soap and running water
regularly, and where soap and water is not available, use your hand sanitizer
and don’t forget to maintain physical distancing whenever you are in a crowded
area. Stay safe.
