Reports from the Ghana Health Service indicate that 90 per cent of new cases recorded are from the Greater Accra Region. The 10 per cent is from seven other regions in the southern sector.
According to the Service, 62 new cases have been recorded in the past two weeks, adding that it started in Accra, and spreading to other parts of the country.
The Director of Public Health at the GHS, Dr Franklin Asiedu-Bekoe, explained that “the 62 new cases are predominantly in Greater Accra”.
“It started two weeks ago and the gradual increase started in Accra, but now it is in seven regions. They are in the southern regions but 90% of cases are in the Greater Accra Region,” he said
Explaining where these cases are being recorded, the Director said “some of the cases were recorded in workplaces, parties and conferences”.
Dr Asiedu-Bekoe warned that Ghanaians should desist from the notion that Covid-19 is over.
“COVID is not over yet. The public should not have that misconception unless the World Health Organization declares it over.”
